Overview

  • Boogie Fland, a 2024 McDonald’s All-American, has committed to the University of Florida after withdrawing from NBA draft consideration last week.
  • Fland averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 assists, and 3.4 rebounds over his first 18 games at Arkansas before a thumb injury sidelined him for most of the season.
  • The guard joins Florida’s restructured backcourt alongside Princeton transfer Xaivian Lee and Ohio University transfer AJ Brown for the 2025-26 season.
  • Florida, fresh off a 36-4 national championship season, lost its top perimeter contributors, making Fland’s addition pivotal to its up-tempo playing style.
  • Fland will reportedly receive over $2 million through NIL agreements, highlighting the growing financial impact of college basketball’s transfer market.
