I don’t find it weird as he was injured and if other guys played well I could understand them moving up. I could be wrong but have never understood the narrative that recruit ratings are changed to drive clicks.  How does changing Boogies ranking drive clicks? I don’t buy that the guys rating players intentionally wrongly rank guys in order to increase eyeballs.

In any case. We need a guard and he looks like he would be a great addition. Hope we get him.

@Uspshoosier explains above, they saw him play and he wasn't playing well due to injury. 5 rating points seems to be a pretty steep drop considering all the other times he's been playing well.

Yes, I got that and It does seem pretty steep but maybe other guys were playing well. It really doesn’t matter as they still have him as the 3rd best combo guard in the country, which isn’t shabby, and he will probably move up as he Is healthy again. In any case, he’d be a great addition and I hope we get him.

Trilly did say watch out for this upcoming week for Fland a couple of days ago 

The tweet I was referring to:

From what I have read on other sites, Boogie dropped due to the injury, plus, he was playing out of position for most of the AAU season,  Again, just what I read as I didnt follow much summer ball.

We feeling good this week? Maybe two good weekends in a row, not counting football.

According to Twitter, the person Boogie Fland most recently followed on Instagram is…Mark freakin Cuban. 

By golly, it’s true.

This is new as of this morning.

Is this really, really good news? Damn straight it is.

Potential commitment watch today? We shall see

[Stuhoo 80,774]

And as if that wasn't enough great news?

To date, a Mark Cuban Insta follow has been a hell of a revealing tell. Cuban following an 18 year old has meant an NIL promotional deal is in the works, which has meant the player is committed to IU.

Mark Cuban only follows 727 on Instagram. As of this morning, one of them is Boogie Fland:

And IF (because nothing is sure until it happens) we get the #1 point guard in the class?

That's the guy a truly top tier big will want to play with.

While Liam is a big-time get, nothing speaks to a post more than a team-player, ultra-successful point guard.

It’s a Boogie Wonderland

It'd be great to get Fland to go with McNeeley. Recruiting like that might pull the giant out of the coma it's been in for nearly 30 years.

Nah, gotta be an announcement of a date a few days in advance, right?

When Woody said he came to Indiana to win?

I worried that he meant "old man doing it the way we did it in the good old days, forcing a square peg in a round hole, 'Dakich-approved' winning."

Nope. He actually meant...winning.

not to be the tap the brakes guy but did MC connect on instagram for any of the summer transfers or recent recruits that we did not get?  I thought there was one.

I believe this is also what tipped the Mgbako recruitment early...or at least gave us some confidence. 

Only following 727 people, and one being Boogie has to be a clear sign. He's not following him if he goes to UK.

I think today is the day he's making his announcement video, but won't announce it today. That was my understanding
