Fland attends Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y. and plays for the PSA Cardinals AAU team on the Nike EYBL circuit. He recently competed in the Nike EYBL Peach Jam from July 3-8 in North Augusta, S.C., which is considered one of the most prestigious grassroots basketball tournaments in the nation.
With a 2-2 record in four games at Peach Jam, Fland averaged 13 points, one assist and one steal per game. He shot 18-for-48 (37.5 percent) from the field and 6-for-27 (22.2 percent) from 3-point range, according to The Circuit.
Indiana currently does not have any commitments in the class of 2024, but June was a busy month for official visits, including Fland, Jaeden Mustaf and Tyler Betsey.
