Kentucky has landed its first five-star of the 2024 recruiting class.

Boogie Fland, a 6-foot-2, 170-pound combo guard from White Plains, New York, has committed to the Kentucky Wildcats, per his social media.

Fland was also considering Indiana and Alabama before he made his decision to come play for John Calipari and the Wildcats.

According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Fland is a five-star prospect and the No. 20 overall player in the 2024 cycle. He's the No. 2 combo guard and the No. 3 player in the state of New York.

Here's what On3's scouting report has to say about Fland's game:

“Boogie Fland plays with a New York flair. He has a good handle and is able to shoot the ball from each level. He has deep range off the bounce and will pull up if you give him an inch. He sees the floor well, gets his teammates in evolved, and takes care of the ball, valuing possessions. There is a floater game in there as well, with a one and two dribble pull-up. He will need to continue getting stronger, and he is a solid athlete and has average length. The confidence is sky-high, and the skill set is obvious. He has a comfort playing on the ball or off the ball in a two-guard lineup. Never afraid of the spotlight. Charismatic. He missed a lot of his sophomore season with injury.”
