What Boogie Fland brings to Florida

Boogie Fland was a freshman phenom for John Calipari's Razorbacks. The 6-foot-2 guard came to Arkansas as a five-star recruit and McDonald's All-American and didn't dissapoint in his sole season with the squad.

Fland appeared in 21 games for Arkansas, making 18 starts. His season was off to a hot start, but a right-hand injury he suffered in mid-January kept the guard sidelined until March, when he aided the Razorbacks in their March Madness run to the Sweet 16.

Despite his shortened season, Fland made an impact on his team. He led the Razorbacks in assists with 5.1 apg and added team second-bests in points (13.5 ppg) and steals (1.5 spg). The guard also found success grabbing boards and averaged 3.2 rebounds per game. In his freshman season, Fland shot 37.9%, including 34.0% from beyond the arc.

Fland entered the transfer portal on the final day and has decided on Florida as his new home. He will offer Todd Golden's Gators a versatile guard with the speed to keep up with Florida's uptempo play.
