Announcement of Commitment

In an exhilarating announcement that has stirred excitement in college basketball circles, Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the talented twin sons of former NBA star Carlos Boozer, have officially committed to Duke University. The twins made their announcement on Friday, marking a significant moment in their burgeoning basketball careers.

Player Profiles

Cameron, standing at an impressive 6-foot-9, is celebrated as one of the top two-way players in high school basketball. He has been consistently ranked among the top three recruits throughout his high school journey. Meanwhile, 6-foot-5 Cayden has earned recognition as an elite point guard and a formidable top-20 recruit, making them one of the most dynamic tandems in the sport.

Impressive Track Record

Basketball fans have keenly followed the Boozer twins' recruitment process since they burst onto the scene as freshmen. The duo boasts an impressive record, having clinched three consecutive Florida state titles with Christopher Columbus High School in Miami. They have also shined on the international stage, representing Team USA and winning gold medals. Notably, they triumphed at the prestigious Nike Peach Jam across three consecutive age brackets—15U, 16U, and 17U—an unprecedented achievement.

NBA Draft Prospects

Both players have been under the watchful eyes of NBA scouts since their sophomore year, and projections indicate that Cameron could be a top-three pick in the anticipated 2026 NBA Draft. Over the summer, he showcased his scoring and rebounding prowess, leading the Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) with impressive averages of 24.5 points and 13.4 rebounds per game. Cayden distinguished himself by leading the league in assists with an average of 6.5.

Successful Summer with Team USA

Their summer ended on a high note in June, when they played for Team USA in the U17 FIBA World Cup held in Istanbul, Turkey. The twins significantly contributed to Team USA's overwhelming success in the tournament, where they dominated opponents by an average margin of 60 points. Cameron was named MVP, putting up 20.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, while Cayden maintained the lead in assists at 6.4 per game.

A Father's Pride

Carlos Boozer couldn't contain his pride as he spoke about his sons’ achievements. "I'm so proud of them; it's hard to put into words," he shared. "Watching how hard they both work and all the sacrifices they’ve made is just incredible."

Legacy and Future at Duke

The Boozer twins’ decision to head to Duke is a significant nod to their father’s legacy, as Carlos Boozer was a key player for the Blue Devils, helping them secure a championship in 2001. Coach Jon Scheyer's recruitment seems to be on an upward trajectory, having previously landed top talents like Cooper Flagg and securing the No. 1 recruiting class last year. The twins are the first commits for Duke’s 2025 recruiting class, and with the Blue Devils' historical success, it's anticipated that more elite players will follow suit before the recruiting cycle wraps up.

Looking Ahead

As fans eagerly await their collegiate debut, the Boozers are poised to make waves at Duke, potentially following in their father’s footsteps and leaving a lasting impact on the program. The countdown to the 2025 season is officially on, and expectations are sky-high!
