Have to think he is Florida bound if he is returning
He shot awful last year and of course eventually had the injury.
4-18 in the tourney
29-104 in games against good teams in the regular season
Those are FG numbers, not just 3 point shooting
Still will get paid and has upside off his quickness, A:TO, high school pedigree, and assumed shooting improvement.

Him and Lee will be an interesting backcourt.
Florida looks like it will be a really good team but not great like last season.
Wow. Also a big hit to Calipari and his one and done recruiting. Pretty wild.
They're saying year 1 Acuff is 100x better than a year 2 Fland over there
.. However they wanna cope with it..This is an intelligent decision by Fland. He's very young (he should've been a SR in HS this year and even then would be young compared to most of his peers) and has high upside.
Mike Miller being his Agent sure can't hurt UF's chances here but watch for Alabama to push hard to get involved (they recruited him out of HS and need a PG) UNC, and about everyone in need of an elite PG.
Understand it's a rule to hate all things attached to Calipari--but this guy at this point of the Portal is a massive get for whomever lands him. He's got SEC experience and was part of a Sweet 16 run where he contributed. Admit I'm biased, because I have been high on him from second I saw him on that USA team that had DJ Wagner, Ian Jackson, Cooper Flagg, etc..and Fland would enter the game and immediately change things for the better.

Good thing for them is they very well may get to see if they are correct if Fland stays in the SEC. Then they can compare/contrast.They're saying year 1 Acuff is 100x better than a year 2 Fland over there
Hopefully Oweh will announce he is pulling out of the draft soon too.
Fland has always been intelligent in how things were handled with his recruitment. With his youth--there's no reason to rush to get to the NBA when he can go somewhere--still be younger than majority of his peers if he has a big year and make a ton of NIL $ while he's at it. Smart decision here.
Most would be stunned if he stayed in the Draft. He's just doing what he should do considering he'll be gone after next year at Kentucky. Get all the feedback from NBA teams, compete and be prepared for a monster SR season in Lexington.
I def didn’t expect this, his stock must have not been as high as many thought. You would have to think this almost guarantees Oweh returning.
NIL has certainly changed the game for guys in this position.
They will again be a great team with Condon and Haugh. Definitely not quite as deep, but if they have a couple guys nobody expects to break out again then they really could be a contender again with that back court. Obviously I don’t expect those guys to be nearly as good as Clayton was all year but ya never know.
He’s got them under the five star curse already. They have top recruits dancing in their heads to replace his inevitable yearly choke job. He was about 2 games away from being a super disappointment in year one. His overall year was weak, and his tourney run should have ended early again if not for Dickenson shaving points.They're saying year 1 Acuff is 100x better than a year 2 Fland over there
He’s definitely going to be a massive get for someone no doubt. He’s one I wish would have stayed put here last year.
It'll be a fun game when wherever he goes plays Ark next year..
2 guys I liked most from that class were Fland/Quaintance--so impressive that Pope went 50% from Portal to get them. They were the youngest guys of the '24 class that UK signed as well. So both guys made intelligent decisions which everyone can point out "it was obvious for injuries" but how many head scratchers do we see in this era?
Honorable mention was Billy Richmond-was a big fan of his and thought his increased minutes and Arkansas winning more often weren't a coincidence.
Recruiting and college basketball has changed- crazy now
If and it’s a big if he were to stay in the draft who would you want to see Kentucky target to fill that spot. I like Jamir Watkins or a euro guy for that role if Oweh stays in the draft
And Cal still had him dominate the ball in most games. Cal's biggest blessing was him being unable to go so he had to use other players.
Coward might not end up at duke
And idea why he isn’t going back to Arkansas? I can speculate but…….
More competition there now than there was last season.
Coach Pope said we have nearly a $200 million NIL budget. Let’s go get him!
Too many cooks in the kitchen. Arkansas had to recruit over him assuming he was gone.
He listened to the right people basketball wise for him. Cal's all in on DJ Wagner and Acuff.
Coward will 100% be selected in first round, especially this year seriously lacks 3D player on draft board
There will be at least one playoff team wants to give him first round guarantee
Coward is gone
Some wild numbers being thrown out 7 mil is outrageous
I still don't believe for a second that Boogie Fland is going to make 7 million at any college he plays at next year..... I don't care if Duke even signed him they wouldn't pay him 7 million!
If Florida has that much left to throw around, they easily had enough to keep Aberdeen happy. I doubt they still have that much coin left and if they did, I can't see them giving it all to Fland. That's a bad investment.
That's not what he said at all. He jokingly said we have spent that much on our current roster.
