Four-star Kentucky commit Johnuel “Boogie” Fland requested to be released from his national letter of intent and will reopen his recruitment following the exit of John Calipari.
Fland was one of the more creative recruits in the class with the ability to shoot and drive, leaving a tough sting in the Kentucky air following his departure.
The Bronx, New York, native was offered by top-tier programs in North Carolina, Alabama, Indiana and Michigan, but ultimately decided to take under the wing of Calipari in Lexington.
Now that Calipari has hit the runway, Fland decided to leave as well, making for another strong caliber exit from a seriously hyped up recruit.
The news came on Monday, just one day after the introductory press conference of new head coach Mark Pope. It would be possible for Fland to still play for Kentucky in the fall, though it seems a lot less likely now that he has reopened his recruitment.
