Class of 2024 point guard Boogie Fland has rescheduled his official visit to North Carolina.
The 6-foot-3 Fland, a five-star prospect ranked the No. 2 combo guard in the Class of 2024 by 247Sports.com, will now visit Oct. 28 after his Sept. 30 visit was impacted by Hurricane Ian.
“[Coach Hubert Davis] calls me every day, he does his share, just like everybody else in the NCAA that offered me,” Fland told ZAGSBLOG last month. “They hit me up often.”
Davis, who led the Tar Heels to the NCAA championship game in his first season as head coach, is known to be high on tough, physical, skilled players from the New York/New Jersey area.
In recent years he’s landed (or helped land) Cole Anthony, now with the Orlando Magic, R.J. Davis, a key member of last year’s national runner-up team who also played at Stepinac, and Class of 2023 Roselle (NJ) Catholic guard Simeon Wilcher.
“Playing with King Rice and Brian Reese and Derrick Phelps and guys that had a chip on their shoulder and an edge about them in terms of competitiveness, that’s what you want because you want guys that have been through the fire,” Davis said, speaking generally about New York and New Jersey players.
“College basketball is hard, playing at North Carolina is hard, you’re going to get knocked down and you want guys that have a fight to be able to persevere and get back up and continue to compete and I haven’t met anybody from this area that doesn’t have that in their personality.”
