JUST IN: Cameron Boozer Finally Makes a Big Future Decision
In a highly anticipated move that’s been the subject of speculation for months, high school basketball phenom Cameron Boozer has finally made his decision about the next step in his basketball journey—and it’s one that could shake the landscape of college basketball.
The 6’9” forward out of Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Florida, and son of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, has officially committed to play college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils, following in his father’s iconic footsteps.
The announcement came via a live stream on Thursday evening, where Boozer, surrounded by his family and teammates, unzipped his jacket to reveal a Duke t-shirt underneath, sending the packed gym into a frenzy. The moment marked the end of a whirlwind recruitment process involving top programs like Kentucky, North Carolina, and even professional pathways such as the NBA G League Ignite and overseas options.
> “This was about more than just basketball,” Cameron said during the announcement. “It was about legacy, development, and family. Duke just felt like home.”
Cameron’s commitment is not just symbolic—it’s strategic. Widely regarded as the No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2025, Boozer brings an elite blend of skill, size, basketball IQ, and maturity. His decision to join Duke reinforces the Blue Devils’ reputation as a powerhouse in developing NBA-ready talent and cements head coach Jon Scheyer’s status as one of the premier recruiters in college hoops today.
Interestingly, Boozer’s decision revives the legendary connection between the Boozer family and the Duke program. Carlos Boozer played under Coach Mike Krzyzewski from 1999 to 2002, winning a national championship in 2001 and establishing himself as one of the most dominant forwards in program history. Now, over two decades later, his son will wear the same jersey with his own legacy to build.
The implications of this commitment extend beyond Durham. For months, Cameron Boozer had been considered a potential candidate for alternative routes to the NBA, especially with the rise of NIL deals and non-traditional development programs. His decision to choose the collegiate route—and specifically Duke—could spark a renewed trend among elite prospects prioritizing college over other pro options.
Scheyer was quick to react on social media, tweeting simply:
> “A Blue Devil legacy continues. Welcome home, Cam.”
There’s also speculation about whether Cameron’s twin brother, Cayden Boozer, a talented guard in his own right, will join him at Duke. Though Cayden has not yet made a commitment, insiders believe the twins may ultimately stay together at the next level.
For now, though, all eyes are on Cameron Boozer—the player many believe could be a future No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. With his commitment, the next chapter of his career is set, and college basketball fans across the country are already circling Duke games on their calendars.
This isn’t just a recruitment win for Duke—it’s a statement. The Boozer name is back in Durham, and the future of Blue Devil basketball just got even brighter.
