Top-ranked point guard Boogie Fland commits to Kentucky

Five-star guard announced his commitment Friday, picking and  over Indiana.

Alabama was also on Fland's final list of three, but this became a Kentucky vs. Indiana battle over the past few weeks. The Hoosiers appeared to be in the driver's seat down the stretch, but Calipari and the Wildcats finished strong and won over Fland.

“The visit played a big part in my decision,” Fland told . “It was fantastic. It blew me away. The setup there is incredible, the gym is right next to the housing lodge. My host was D.J. Wagner. We played USA Basketball together and bonded. On my visit, I watched practice and workouts. You go against the best every day and that's what I want.”
