Duke University has secured a monumental commitment with the addition of 6-foot-9 forward Cameron Boozer, a consensus five-star recruit and son of former Blue Devil and NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer. Cameron, alongside his twin brother Cayden, a top-tier point guard, chose Duke over other prominent programs, signaling a significant boost to the Blue Devils’ 2025 recruiting class.
Cameron’s high school career at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami is decorated with accolades, including multiple state championships and national player of the year honors. His performance on the Nike EYBL circuit with Nightrydas Elite further showcased his dominance, leading in points and rebounds per game.
Scouts praise Cameron’s versatility, noting his ability to score from various positions on the court, his exceptional rebounding, and his high basketball IQ. His skill set draws comparisons to NBA talents like Paolo Banchero and Kevin Love, particularly for his offensive polish and outlet passing abilities.
Defensively, Cameron is lauded for his ability to guard multiple positions, maintain verticality, and disrupt offensive plays with sharp positioning and reflexes. His leadership qualities and understanding of team dynamics make him a valuable asset on both ends of the court.
With the departure of key players like Cooper Flagg to the NBA, Cameron’s arrival fills a crucial role in Duke’s lineup. His presence, combined with his brother Cayden’s playmaking abilities, positions the Blue Devils as strong contenders for the national championship.
Head coach Jon Scheyer’s recruitment of the Boozer twins reflects a strategic move to blend legacy, talent, and leadership within the team. As Duke aims for its next title, Cameron Boozer’s commitment could indeed be the missing piece to their national championship aspirations.
