Good morning BBN!

The Kentucky Wildcats offseason has begun as they start looking throughout the transfer portal for players that fit what John Calipari and his staff are looking for regarding next season's roster.

With the No. 2 ranked freshman class incoming, Coach Cal has landed one of the top guards in the class in 5-star combo guard Boogie Fland. A top 20 player in the class, Fland has now added a huge accolade to his resume as he was named the MaxPreps New York High School Player of the Year.

Playing for Archbishop Stepinac, the senior guard had an incredible season that included him averaging 19.2 PPG on 46% shooting from the field and 36% from three. He also added 6.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.4 steals on the season.

With it starting to look like the back-court will be wide open next season, adding a player with an all-around game like Fland is going to hopefully pay huge dividends on the court. Winning this award in a talent-rich state such as New York only adds to the confidence the BBN should have in the freshman guard to produce.
