In a stunning and electrifying development for Razorback Nation, Arkansas men’s basketball star Boogie Fland has announced he will return for the 2025-26 season. The news broke Friday morning, sending a surge of excitement through Fayetteville and Razorback fans across the country.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Fland declared, confirming his decision to stay and continue his college career under new head coach John Calipari.
Fland, a standout freshman guard who made an immediate impact on the program in the 2024-25 season, was widely expected to declare for the NBA Draft. Instead, he chose to double down on his commitment to Arkansas, citing “unfinished business” and a desire to grow under the tutelage of the legendary Calipari.
“This is about legacy,” Fland said in a social media post. “We’ve got something special building here. Coach Cal has a vision, and I believe in it.”
Head Coach John Calipari, who took over the Razorbacks program after his tenure at Kentucky, was quick to show his excitement about Fland’s return.
“Boogie’s decision speaks volumes about his character and love for this program,” Calipari said. “He’s one of the best young talents in the country, and I’m going to make sure he reaches his full potential.”
Fland averaged 17.8 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game last season, quickly becoming a fan favorite and a foundational piece of Arkansas basketball. With his return, the Razorbacks are expected to be a top contender in the SEC and a serious national title threat.
Boogie’s loyalty and leadership send a powerful message — the Hogs are not just reloading, they’re coming for it all.
