Arkansas Razorbacks standout guard Boogie Fland is speaking from the heart as the team gears up for the highly anticipated NCAA Tournament. The five-star freshman phenom took to social media Monday evening to express his deep appreciation for new Head Coach John Calipari and his commitment to making both the coach and the Razorback faithful proud.
In a heartfelt post that quickly made waves among fans and college basketball insiders, Fland wrote:
“Coach Cal believed in me from day one. He’s pushed me to be better every single day—not just as a player but as a man. I’m beyond grateful to be a part of this family. Razorback Nation, I promise to give you everything I’ve got. This tournament, we’re going all in. Let’s make history.”
Fland, a Bronx native and McDonald’s All-American, followed Coach Calipari to Arkansas after the longtime Kentucky coach took over the Razorbacks’ program in a stunning offseason move. The dynamic guard has already made an impact on the court, averaging 17.6 points, 5.2 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game while helping Arkansas secure a strong tournament seed.
Coach Calipari, known for developing NBA talent, responded to Fland’s message with equal praise.
“Boogie is special—not just his game, but his heart,” Calipari said in a statement. “He’s the kind of young man you win with. Razorback Nation is lucky to have him, and so am I.”
As the Razorbacks prepare for their first-round matchup, excitement is building in Fayetteville. With Boogie Fland leading the charge and Calipari orchestrating from the sidelines, Arkansas fans have every reason to believe that a deep tournament run could be in the cards.
One thing’s for sure: this team is playing with purpose, passion, and pride.
