Arkansas basketball freshman point guard Boogie Fland declares for NBA Draft


Arkansas basketball freshman point guard Boogie Fland will enter the 2025 NBA Draft, according to a post on his Instagram page Friday afternoon.

Fland is widely viewed as a late-first or early-second round draft pick after completing his first and only season with the Razorbacks. John Calipari has had a first-round pick in 17 straight years.

“Thank you to all my fans and supporters, this year has been nothing short of unforgettable,” Fland wrote on Insatgram.

“Returning to the team for March Madness and competing alongside my brothers was an experience I’ll cherish forever. Much love to Razorback Nation, Coach Calipari and the entire coaching staff, and every one of my teammates for believing in me.”

ESPN’s latest mock draft projects the San Antonio Spurs to pick Fland in the second round with the No. 38 pick.

Fland missed 18 games with a thumb injury he sustained in the Jan. 11 loss to Florida. He would go on to play two more games before shutting things down until the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Fland returned and played a key role in the Razorbacks win over Kansas, but he couldn’t find a rhythm across the next two rounds. He finished his freshman season averaging 13.5 points, 5.1 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game. Perhaps the biggest highlight of his campaign was returning home to New York City and scoring 20 points with seven assists in an 89-87 victory over Michigan inside Madison Square Garden.

Fland was a five-star recruit coming out of high school in 2024, and he was originally committed to Kentucky before following John Calipari to Arkansas. He was the second high school recruit to commit to Arkansas in the previous offseason, following Karter Knox.
