Elite PG, former Kentucky signee Boogie Fland sets official visit to Arkansas

Harlem (N.Y.) Archbishop Stepinac four-star point guard Boogie Fland will take an official visit to Arkansas beginning on Wednesday, according to On3’s Joe Tipton.

Fland, a one-time Kentucky signee, requested his release from his National Letter of Intent with the Wildcats after the departure of John Calipari earlier this month.

The Hall of Fame coach left Big Blue Nation to take the head job in Fayetteville, and he has already pursued a number of former signees, including Fland, Jayden Quaintance, and Karter Knox, who committed to Arkansas earlier this week.

Fland is the No. 19 overall prospect and top-ranked point guard in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 3 player in New York.

A McDonald’s All-American, Fland pledged to Kentucky on Oct. 20, choosing the SEC powerhouse over Indiana and Alabama. The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder was set to become the latest touted guard to play under Calipari in Lexington, but is instead now set to come back on the board.

Boogie Fland Scouting Summary

“Boogie Fland plays with a New York flair. He has a good handle and is able to shoot the ball from each level. He has deep range off the bounce and will pull up if you give him an inch. He sees the floor well, gets his teammates in evolved, and takes care of the ball, valuing possessions. There is a floater game in there as well, with a one and two dribble pull-up. He will need to continue getting stronger, and he is a solid athlete and has average length. The confidence is sky-high, and the skill set is obvious. He has a comfort playing on the ball or off the ball in a two-guard lineup. Never afraid of the spotlight. Charismatic.”
