Sport in Profile Magazine recently caught up with Brandon Boggs to find out more. Involvement He told us, “I have been involved with the club since last year, so this will be my second season with the Flyers. I was very attracted to playing in the BBL and I knew a couple of familiar faces in the team already!

I already knew one of the returning players in Daniel Edozie, as I had already played against him in the Global Basketball Summer League in Las Vegas. The Bristol Flyers organisation is on the rise - Coach Kapoulas sold me on winning and he said I could really help the team in a lot of areas on and off the court.” The Role “The most challenging and rewarding aspects of being a Bristol Flyer is being 100 percent committed to the club and the process.
