Boogie Fland: Been hearing that there has been some Uconn buzz of late

[CL82]

I'm not saying Cal has a bad class, that'd be saying UConn also has a bad class I’m saying that he has no class.

FIFY

 

[Kolumbo]

we talking about practice!

 

[ElGreco]

Stop.

Those 5 stars he’s been getting for years have yielded what 1 NC and trying to keep up with all the others in the SEC.

no intel, but wouldn’t be surprised if staff stops into see boogie with the big east tournament in nyc this week

I’ve been thinking about this. It’s a no brainer to get him a seat behind our bench if we make the championship game. Let him celebrate with the team, it’d increase our odds greatly.

Because Boogie Fland is always the best in town?

Is this a “Yankee discount muffler” plug?

Austin... you are way off brother. This is a reference to the song "Boogie Nights" by Heatwave. A true disco era classic, and one of my favorite songs from when I was a kid. Great pull and use of the reference Waquoit!

Not to mention he needed a future hall of famer who may go down as the greatest PF of all time to finally win it.

Tim Duncan went to Wake.

Tim Duncan went to Wake.

Did I say he's the best?

 

[John]

This is such a mean thing to post with no context. Is this your own source? Did someone tweet something? Is he liking stuff on social? I’m dying here.

Carwash.

 

[Dove]

It's electric!


Boogie-oogie-oogie!!!

 

[AdamaNation]

And UConn makes tournament noise. Given michatron's three horse race is down to two hopefully UNC doesn't make the tournament as well. Now that it's a two horse race instead of three it adds credibility to the factor the kid wants to be part of a winning program.

Not making the tournament can also be reason to go to said blue blood and be the savior.

Thanks LStud. It was callback to post #6.

He had the best class in the country. If his class is meh, every other school has a class that is meh minus.

Plus, I have met a ton of college hoop and football recruiting experts in my life. Don’t put much stock in 99% of them - they are mostly meh minus people.

If I were setting odds, UK would be even money for Fland. We’re like 5-1.

In Hurley we trust.

Why would he go there and play with Wagner? Or is it assumed Wagner is one and done?

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Tim Duncan went to Wake.

Duncan was a Center

Tim Duncan wasn't afraid to use the glass.

Definitely one and done.

Big Stepinac-Cardinal Hayes game today. University of Southern Canada was three deep to see Fland (and their signee Elijah Moore). Anyone know if UConn staff members were in attendance?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Totally random thought just popped up:

Imagine a 2024-2024 starting lineup of: Fland, Ball, Castle, Karaban, Clingan.

As much as I’d love this in theory, I also worry that it meant something went horribly wrong with Castles season & arguably Clingans

As in, didn't do well enough to go pro?

If so, fair point.

 

[gtcam]

Did you mean 2023-2024 or 2024-2025??

I just don't see Clingan leaving after this year, I think it is more likely he is a 4-year guy for a couple reasons. As he currently plays, he doesn't have a role in the NBA he is a smaller version of Edey who is having a NPOY season and is still projected to be a 2nd round guy and reason two he stayed 4 years at Bristol-Central being close to family is obviously important to him he will have a lot of local NIL deals available to him as he morphs into the leader of this team. I don't see him leaving that for a 2nd round grade and bouncing around in the G league. All this changes if he improves as a shooter which his form suggests he can but I think he is a here a minimum of 2 more years.

Based on other Jr & Sr 7 footers and bigs playing this year and Clingan’s makeup I figure he’s here at least 3 years. As for Castle, he may have a great season and may decide on one more that could be due to multiple reasons-mostly good.

I'll gladly take a great year from Castle and him being a one-and-done. That means Uconn will have taken the next step in building it's NBA pipeline reputation.

It will ultimately come down to how high in the draft he is expected to go. Same for Hawkins-maybe higher teens unless he carries us far this year.
