You all think Boogie will honor his NLI? Hope Pope calls him quick. He would be great in the offense.
Boogie Fland and UK
- Thread starter wildcatdon
- Start date
He’s Cal’s recruit. Expect all Cal’s players to leave every year. That’s what history has taught us. Fland is no exception, and Cal is no longer here. Fland will not play for UK next season. The exceptions are Dheppard and Perry. Sheppard will enter the draft, Perry likely sticks, as he fits Pope’s offensive scheme well.
Next years roster will include Perry, 4-6 BYU transfers. 2-3 other portal players. Maybe McNeeley, the decommit from Indiana, and a surprise recruit or two that most fans won’t think are UK Caliber.
Fland is interesting. There were already rumors he may not follow Cal but instead end up in the northeast somewhere
I think Fland and JQ will at least listen to the new coach, but I wouldn't assume they would remain with UK.
Don't have a read on any of the others, but doubt Somto is a fit anyway.

I’d be shocked if it were any better than this.
This pretty much nailed.
Good news is they’ll still be as good or better than one of cals charmin soft frosh classes
Then we *****. But pre-bitching is a waste of time and energy.
Fland and these other recruits better realize how big of an impact Welch not going to Arkansas with Cal is. Cal will go right back to his 1995 style offense lol
He better. Meechi Johnson please.
The the kid from ms.st. that lite us up enter the portal already?
Absolutely not Meechi! Plus he already going back to OSU
Pope took BYU into Allen Fieldhouse this year and walked with a win. He can flat out coach. A roster of that construction wouldn't be bad at all for his first year.
Perry and Hart are all that I expect at UK. I think Z is a perfect fit and there is a small chance at Reed coming back. Other than that we will build from the portal.
Not enough to win a tourney game this year. Pro pope people seem to downplay his shortcomings. Hope he does well but UK should have been prepared when they knew Cal was looking in Feb to get better.
No reasonable person would make judgements about a coach based on extremely limited results from a single game elimination tournament. It took Jay Wright a decade to win a tournament game. It's the most random even in sports, losing in the first round twice isn't anything that shows he can't coach.
Again, it's BYU. They sabotaged their own season a decade ago when they suspended one of the best players on the Jimmer team because he admitted to having sex with his long time fiancé. The type of player you can realistic get at BYU is much worse than they type of player he'll get here.
I’m not saying he won’t succeed, I’m saying there’s no data to support this yet. We have absolutely no way to know if he can recruit yet. His style of play should be fun but I’m not optimistic about his first recruiting class due to timing. We will see how it comes out when we get filled up.
Didn't Hart already announce that he was entering the portal?
Good news is, we have a coach that can, ya know, actually coach now.
But can he get players?We need a little of both.
Yeah just like my wife, pre-bitchin Queen.
Chances are better they Reed Sheppard plays for UK next year than Boogie Fland.
Do they though? We had plenty of Jim’s and Joes. And got beat by X’s and O’s
