1. Boogie Fland withdraws from NBA Draft
Good news for programs in need a guard! Boogie Fland will play college hoops next season.

The 6-2 freshman from the Bronx averaged 13.5 ppg and 5.1 apg, but a hand injury limited him to just 20 games. He missed over two months until returning for the NCAA Tournament.
Fland’s certainly talented. He blends shot-creation and savvy passing. He’s an inconsistent shooter who was 41% from the floor, 34% from deep, and just 38% at the rim.
Which teams makes the most sense for Fland? Florida appears to be the early front-runner. The national champions still have a guard void after losing each of Denzel Aberdeen, Walter Clayton Jr, and Alijah Martin. So, bringing Fland in would make an electric pairing next to Princeton transfer Xaivian Lee. (The Gators were already linked to Fland after a report last week that he’d get up to $7 million in NIL.)
Some may project Fland to St. John’s for a homecoming, but that’d be a crowded backcourt.
North Carolina might make the most sense. UNC's current backcourt consists of Kyan Evans, who's an elite shooter, and Seth Trimble. Adding a guard who can operate in ball screens and make quick decisions seems ideal for Hubert Davis’ team.
2. Two players might do more that test NBA Draft waters
NIL packages have been a significant part of keeping players in college, rather than chase professional money. But there are still guys who see their stock rise every spring and bolt, no matter what NIL money is out there.
