Florida Gators landed one of the most impactful transfers in the country that can help Todd Golden defend their national title

Florida Gators land transfer guard Boogie Fland

This is a huge get for head coach Todd Golden, who has seen a lot of success in the transfer portal. In fact, four of the five starters on last year's team were additions in the transfer portal.

Fland is the second major addition to the backcourt with former Princeton guard Xavian Lee already having committed to the program.

As a true freshman last season with the Razorbacks, Fland was an impactful player for head coach John Calipari. He averaged 13.5 points and 5.1 assists in 31.8 minutes per game. Bland only played in 21 games due to a thumb injury, starting 18 of them, but the former McDonalds All-American has a lot of ability.

On3 Sports' Jamie Shaw's scouting report coming out of high school says a lot about his ability, which will fit in very well with Golden's offense.

“Boogie Fland plays with a New York flair. He has a good handle and is able to shoot the ball from each level, has deep range off the bounce and will pull up if you give him an inch. He sees the floor well, gets his teammates in evolved, and takes care of the ball, valuing possessions. There is a floater game in there as well, with a one and two dribble pull-up.

“He will need to continue getting stronger, and he is a solid athlete and has average length. The confidence is sky-high, and the skill set is obvious. He has a comfort playing on the ball or off the ball in a two-guard lineup. Never afraid of the spotlight. Charismatic. He missed a lot of his sophomore season with injury.”

The Gators are in a much better spot heading into the 2025-2026 season, and Fland is likely to be in line as the top scorer.
