Boogie (Days And) Nights

I am not a scout but I saw both Boogie and Ian play at Stepinac and Hayes from their Freshman through Junior year several times and then Boogie as a senior after Ian went to OSL. While not directly comparable because of their size and skill sets I feel the following.

Jackson was better each of their first three years but I had concerns about his outside shooting. After last season those are gone. I was really impressed with him at UNC in a role that limited his ability. He still has some areas he can improve in but I think he could exceed some of the boards expectations. He is an immense talent.

Fland didn’t impress me as much and especially his first three years seemed a bit overrated. He improved a lot his senior year. He was hurt a good portion of the season and the team seemed to improve when he went out but I think that was just a coincidence.

I agree he didn’t stand out for much of the game in Providence but who on St. John’s besides Zuby did. That said when the game was on the line Fland blew by Smith if I recall and scored a huge late basket.

If Fland is a first round pick I agree he should go to the NBA if not he should go to back to college. I don’t see him not being a second round pick if he returns to college.
 
I think it’s interesting that so much time and energy is wasted on a thread based on an improbable supposition. First of all Boogie is focused on the draft. Second of all, if he doesn’t go when he wants to in the draft, if Cal wants him back, I’m sure he can match and outbid whatever Pitino does so why change. And thirdly, what makes you think Pitino wants Boogie? Did you ever stop to think that part of the deal in getting Jackson to commit (remember it took a while?) was that Coach agreed to play him at point? Pitino went out of his way to make a grand statement as such.

dont think a return to Ark is in the cards as Ark is loaded in the back court. We still need a PG and could theoretically pay him. Even if he came to play point primarily, am sure Pitino will mix it up with him and Ian both playing off each other like DJ and Clayton

Boogie Fland is Arkansas' Omar Cook.
Luckily in the NIL era he can make millions just staying in college(s).😉

Cal recruits one-and-doners. He assumes you are one-and-done and recruits accordingly. Fland replacement is already set for next season.

If going back to Arkansas or NBA were his only two choices, there's no need to enter portal. You don't have to portal back from NBA evals.

No idea if Fland staying in college and coming home is a realistic possibility but you can be sure if that does happen it will be with signoff from Ian and team.

The key words: at 18 years old. Do you realize that Jonathan Kuminga is only 22 years old?. It seems like he played with Michael Jordan. That’s the point CRP tried to make with RJ. Don’t wait too long. Take your shot. You might get hurt, etc.
That’s why Boogie will not be a college basketball player next year.

Where was Kuminga drafted? What salary is slotted for where Kuminga was drafted?
 
19 years old, late first round or second round pick this year or 20 years old Top 15 pick next year. You can decide which is better for the player assuming he doesn’t get hurt.
