IT’S ABOUT TIME: Arkansas Razorbacks’ Boogie Fland drops another major hit- announcement for the Razorbacks this time from the legendary Corliss Williamson.

The hype train surrounding Arkansas freshman phenom Boogie Fland just picked up even more steam—and this time, it comes with the stamp of a Razorback legend.

Following a string of electric performances and off-court buzz, Boogie Fland delivered another headline moment, but not with a dunk or a no-look pass. Instead, he dropped a major announcement featuring none other than Arkansas basketball royalty: Corliss “Big Nasty” Williamson.

In a surprise video posted on social media, Williamson—widely regarded as one of the greatest Razorbacks of all time—delivered a powerful message endorsing Fland and welcoming him into the lineage of greats who’ve worn the cardinal and white.

“Boogie’s got that fire,” Williamson said in the video. “He’s got that Razorback edge, and I see a lot of the same hunger we had back in my day. Arkansas is in good hands.”

The announcement sent shockwaves through the Arkansas fanbase, with thousands of fans reacting across platforms. For many, it wasn’t just a moment of nostalgia but a clear sign that Fland is not just another top recruit—he’s building a legacy.

Fland, a five-star guard and one of the most talked-about freshmen in the country, has quickly made a name for himself in Fayetteville. His flashy handles, fearless drives, and clutch shot-making have already drawn national attention. But it’s his off-the-court charisma and flair for the dramatic that continue to elevate his profile.

“I grew up watching highlights of Corliss and hearing stories about what he meant to this program,” Fland said. “To get that kind of love from a legend? That’s motivation. That’s family.”

This moment adds yet another chapter to the already growing lore of Boogie Fland’s time in Arkansas. With Williamson’s nod of approval, the stage is officially set for Fland to chase greatness in a place where legends are made.

As Razorback fans like to say—Woo Pig Sooie, Boogie just made it personal.
