Overview

  • Boogie Fland, a standout freshman at Arkansas, has committed to the University of Florida under head coach Todd Golden.
  • Fland withdrew from NBA draft consideration last week after attending the combine but deciding to return to college basketball.
  • The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 assists, and 3.4 rebounds over 18 games before a January hand injury sidelined him for much of the season.
  • Fland’s NIL agent, Mike Miller, a former Florida player, played a key role in facilitating his move to Gainesville.
  • Florida, the reigning NCAA champion, sought Fland to bolster their backcourt, pairing him with Princeton transfer Xaivian Lee in their uptempo system.
