Tar Heels reach out to 5-star prospect from New York

Hubert Davis and his staff are looking to dip back into the Archbishop Stepinac pool that has already produced talents like R.J. Davis and Adrian Griffin over the past few years.  And now five-star guard Johnuel “Boogie” Fland is looking to be the next in line from the school.

On Wednesday, North Carolina was among several teams that reached out to Fland as the open contact period began.

The five-star point guard told Jake Weingarten of StockRisers that he’s heard from UNC, Kansas, Duke, Oregon, UConn, Kentucky, UCLA and Oklahoma among other programs so far early in this contact period:

The 6-foot-3, 165-pound Fland has a total of 20 offers so far in his recruitment including from Georgia, Illinois, UConn, Indiana, Michigan and Kansas among others so far.

He’s ranked No. 13 overall, the No. 2 point guard and No. 2 player in the state of New York per the 247Sports recruiting rankings.
