Boogie Fland

Personal Life

Boogie Fland was a member of the 2022 USA Basketball U17 National Team, and he helped lead Team USA to a gold medal in Sprain. The championship win came on his birthday, and it was such an impactful moment in his life that he has something that will help him never forget it. “That was one of a kind,” Fland told On3’s Kentucky Sports Report. “Just to be able to win a gold medal on my birthday is something that I’ll keep with me forever. I actually got a tattoo of the medal on my arm because of the significance of it. That made the game extra special.” Even with his success and lofty recruiting ranking, Fland says he’s still working on becoming a better player. “My favorite player is Ja Morant,” Fland said. “What he does with his team, I try to look up to that. I’m still working to be more like him. I’m working on everything. I try to do as much as possible on the court for me, my team and my family. I can adapt to any playing style, that can be with anybody. As long as you put your mind to it and do what your coaches tell you to do, you can fit into any play style.” Fland averaged 14.4 points and five rebounds in his sophomore season for New York City’s Archbishop Stepinac High School. As a freshman, he averaged 9.8 points and 4.8 rebounds.
