Absolutely not, no similarities. Ayo's game more unique.

Boogie is a stud, would love to have him. Best guard in the class to me.
My only question mark is what happens next year when we can’t start all three of Boogie, Kylan and Fears, but tbh that’d be an embarrassment of riches problem and the answer is probably just cross that bridge when you get to it.

Dudes gonna make a crap ton of $$$ in his career.
Always the bridesmaid almost never the bride.
That sounds like a Dee, Deron, and Luther type of “problem”.
Ayo is such a stud man… but why would Boogie come play for a coach whose never put a PG in the NBA
You mean how will we be able to play all of our 5 star guards at the same time? yes, that is a problem we would gladly deal with
I’m the opposite- I can’t imagine OA not closing the deal to bring Boogie with him and Brad not finding the NIL to make it happen, they certainly would have discussed that in OA agreeing to come

If Fland comes I think there's a decent chance he would be a one and done. Two years max though imo
Looking at the 2024-25 team vs #6 NCAA 2023-24 team: Quincy vs Morez/our future 5 grab in the portal. Hawkins vs Booth/Morez/Hawkins. TSJ vs Domask/Booth/White/Davis. Ty vs Domask/Ty/Gibbs/Davis and Domask vs Boswell.
Add to this when we know who the other portal pickups will be and with OA, it may be huge.
I know it is way too early to visualize the 24-25 team but it looks 10 deep.
It sure looks competitive, but how can we make up for the loss of TSJ? He is irreplaceable but with the talent improvement with our current team, with the portal and with Morez, it may be a better team, as hard to believe that is.

Boogie Fland, Archbishop Stepinac , Combo Guard
Johnuel Fland is a 6-2, 170-pound combo guard from White Plains, NY.247sports.com
The last HS guard we recruited out of NY worked out pretty well...
I’m not convinced it is, but I’m also not convinced it isn’t. I would think that he’s got better things to do than post on Loyalty as much as Indy posts. My guess is that it’s the DIA’s social media team, and honestly it’s brilliant if so.

Papi? then Alan Griffin?
Yeah, Ayo will, yet Coby White ($36M contract) had a career high 42 pts and smoked everyone last night. Ayo, our hero, is at a $21M contract. Friday night will be a good game with Chicago at Miami next. Wish Ayo had time to talk to the new Illini team later this summer after NBA play is over.
Plus Luther’s not insubstantial contribution
Also. That wouldnt be a tall lineup, but I think Brad could figure out how to play 3 McDAA caliber guards together.
Boogie is not even comparable to skyy Clark or curbelo imo he would easily be our best recruit since ayo
Haven’t checked loyalty since we missed on Storr and Maddox…..come back and now we’re getting Boogie. What in the hell did I miss!?!?
I am a in Brad I trust guy but I am finding it really difficult to keep that going. Storr was a supposed priority and lock, couldn't close the deal. Maddox was a supposed priority and heavy lean and couldn't close the deal. Last year RayJ was a heavy lean and couldn't close the deal. We have a lot of role players. To be saving the money for Marcus and Cole I just find that foolish as both are 50-50 props at best and you are losing out on all that talent. As for Cole I actually could see him transferring to Kansas and play beside Storr and Hunter. They say Brad is cooking hopefully he doesn't over cook it and have to throw it away.
