The national champs have loaded up and may well have a roster to make a push for another Final Four. Arkansas transfer Boogie Fland has committed to Florida, he announced, meaning the Gators’ 2025-26 backcourt will be led by two high-profile transfers. Xaivian Lee, a former Princeton standout, committed to UF on April 16.
The NIL deal to land Fland was more than $2 million, sources told CBS Sports.
The 6-foot-3 Fland is a former five-star prospect and charts as one of the 10 best portal players in this year’s cycle. He flirted with the pre-NBA Draft process but announced last week he’d be returning to college. Fland averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists and 3.2 rebounds at Arkansas last season, playing in 21 games — missing 15 contests due to a thumb injury. He visited Florida over the weekend; momentum had been cresting in the Gators’ favor ever since.
The Fland commitment comes after Florida explored adding USC transfer Desmond Claude before ultimately continuing to look elsewhere. Fland is a creative shot-taker and playmaker, though his inconsistency betrayed some of his potential. He shot a mere 37.9% overall, including 34% from 3-point range. For Florida, the addition means Todd Golden’s Gators will have a roster that is in the mix to be a preseason top 10 team. With Fland and Lee in the backcourt, the Gators also return power forward Thomas Haugh, power forward Rueben Chinyelu (who withdrew from the draft process a few days ago) and center Micah Handlogten. Also likely to return is big man Alex Condon, who participated at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, but sources said he’s more likely than not to ultimately return to Gainesville. The Gators will welcome in a pair of four-star freshmen (CJ Ingram and Alex Lloyd) as well.
The Gators are losing Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin and Will Richard to expiring eligibility, plus Denzel Aberdeen (off to Kentucky), so landing at least one more high-ceiling guard was a huge priority. With Fland off the board, the biggest names to watch for include Texas Tech transfer Derrion Williams, St. John’s t transfer RJ Luis, Memphis transfer PJ Haggerty and Claude.

Rodrygo forderte neue Position – Alonso macht kurzen Prozess mit Real-Star
Spielzeit eingebüßt, Status in der Mannschaft verloren: Die aktuelle Saison geht Real-Star Rodrygo gehörig gegen den Strich. So sehr, dass der Brasilianer zuletzt sogar eine dreiste Forderung an Bald-Trainer Xabi Alonso gestellt haben soll – nämlich einen Positionswechsel.Die Rolle von Rodrygo vergiftet den Neustart bei den Königlichen. Das hat Alonso offenbar erkannt und will dem Theater ein Ende setzen, wie die spanische „AS“ meldet.Dem Bericht zufolge plant der Spanier, nach seiner Amtsübernahme nur noch mit dem Doppel-Schlag Vinicius Jr. (24) und Kylian Mbappé im Sturm anzutreten. Dadurch würde Rodrygo weiter in eine nur noch unterstützende Rolle gedrängt. Noch übler für den Brasilianer: Erwartet wird, dass Arda Güler (20), der auf Wunsch von Alonso bleibt, ihm zusätzlich Spielzeit streitig machen wird.Gemeinsam auf dem Feld funktionieren sie nicht: Reals Rodrygo (24/l.) und Kylian Mbappé (26)Foto: Getty Images<!-->]-->Eine Evolution des königlichen Sturms ist notwendig: […]

Para o jornalista, o Tricolor Paulista tem time para brigar pelas competições de mata-mata. “Eu acho que o São Paulo tem chances na Libertadores e Copa do Brasil. Eu acho esse elenco do São Paulo bem legal. Não acho o elenco ruim. É que nem o Santos, o elenco não é ruim, mas faz um campeonato horroroso. O São Paulo não faz um campeonato pavoroso, mas poderia estar rendendo mais com esse elenco. Acho que tem condições de brigar lá em cima em todos campeonatos”, disse ele.
