Quick personal boogie anecdote that likely means nothing - I met boogie's dad in providence, at the Arkansas team hotel lobby the day before our disaster against them. Saw him wearing Stepinec Varsity jacket, so I knew he must be part of Boogie's team. Was a really nice guy and very complimentary of everything SJU has going on. I gave him the recruiting pitch on if NBA didn't work out this year, why not come learn under the legend RP and rock MSG for a year, and he was clearly excited about that possibility. Anyways later that night I saw a prominent member of SJU staff (not Rick) and I jokingly told him I was working on recruiting boogie, to which I got the response that we have ZERO interest in him.. As I said to start this post, likely means nothing but did seem like his honest opinion. Obviously things are always fluid.. but I'll take some credit if he does end up here

If an Agent gets 10% (I have no idea), let's put hattengoat in for 1% if Fland signs with us.

Could this be the Vince backfill?

6'11...7/6... at L'Ville... thats a player looking for 25+ mpg...

With Zuby/Prey/Mitchell/BHop... thats 80 mins to split at the 4/5 positions... Have to think Zuby and BHop (once in shape) will take at least 60 of those 80...

We need an insurance policy under the hoop - would say a HS/Freshman transfer... potential International product for this very reduced role this year.
 
Is Fland listed as a first round pick in any mock draft? I could only see mid second round at best. This sounds like an RJ Luis situation to me. Meaning he’s definitely coming back to college for another year.

Agree. Realized right after posting it and looking at Scott's stats he wouldn't be satisfied with the kind of minutes Vince was going to get (maybe 10 mpg at best).

A couple of our better posters put out several examples of mock drafts yesterday - Boogie goes anywhere from late first round to early second round - much higher than RJ who wasn't in any of the mock drafts posted.

Thanks, just read the whole thread and saw what you’re referencing. I thought RJ at least was on a couple late second-round mock drafts, maybe not. Can’t imagine him not coming back for another year of college. There seems to be a wide range of possibilities for Fland, on the other hand.

ESPN didn't even have him on their last mock in March and has the #48 prospect. It's a huge range. Wouldn't shock me if he stays in the draft because he really impresses a team, or that the scouts tell him one more year would go a long way.

Which makes no sense since he could have always gone back to Arkansas.

Maybe if the NBA doesn't happen, he wants home, playing with Ian (his buddy), wants to rock MSG,
Wants the best coach in college baskeyball.

Cal only won one championship at UK. UK fans says that they would get 5 of the top 10 recruits every year, if Rick was still coach here that they'd have 3 or 4 championships by now. Rick is a much better game coach and developer then Cal.

Right. That’s my point - it isn’t NBA or Arkansas anymore. If it was, then he wouldn’t have entered the portal.

He is looking at 3 million at minimum if he comes back to college. That’s without the bidding war that might and will probably occur driving that price to 3.5, maybe 4 mil possibly. That’s a big check and wonder how many schools will/can go there at the end of May when most rosters are close to set.

I enjoyed your post BrookJersey and appreciate your efforts to share all the information you had about Meeting Boogie’s father.
If one of our staff said they have zero interest I would think they know things that we don’t and some of the things might be negative or proof that this young man would not work out here.
Anyway after several decades of frustration and mediocrity 2000-20 I refuse to be anything but overjoyed with Rick Pitino, his staff, his recruits, his player development, his nudging the school toward better facilities and his connecting with MSG so we have a lot more games there.
What’s not to like? Especially in contrast to what we had to endure. Seems we are back in the hay-days of the 1980s and before when we were a desirable destination, top 5 in all time wins, and had talented players and enough to many Ws!
I like Ws lol
