Rick Pitino pays visit to Kentucky target Boogie Fland

Welcome back, John Calipari vs. Rick Pitino recruiting battles. You’ve been missed.

Kentucky‘s top point guard target in the class of 2024 is five-star standout Boogie Fland out of Archbishop Stepinac in Harlem, NY. The 6-foot-3 playmaker is ranked No. 1 at his position and No. 5 overall by On3, a consensus top-10 prospect.

Now, Pitino is throwing his hat into the ring, just one day removed from his introductory press conference at St. John’s.

Jacob Polacheck of KSR+ reports Pitino and assistant coach Steve Masiello — a former Kentucky walk-on and 1998 champion — will be in for Fland on Wednesday.
