On New Year’s Eve, the excitement of college basketball was palpable as Cameron Boozer and his mother ventured to Durham to witness Duke's impressive 88-65 victory over Virginia Tech. This marked the first time the five-star power forward from Columbus High School (Florida) had the opportunity to see the 2024-25 Blue Devils in action. His twin brother, Cayden Boozer, a fellow 2025 Duke signee, was unable to join due to scheduling conflicts. Despite this, both brothers have been closely following the team's stellar performance from afar. They visited Jon Scheyer's squad in late August before committing in early October. The Boozer brothers, sons of former Duke national champion Carlos Boozer, expressed admiration for the team's defensive prowess and competitive spirit. Cameron highlighted the team's exceptional length, positional size, and relentless effort. Meanwhile, Cooper Flagg's record-breaking 42-point game against Notre Dame has added to the team's growing momentum, extending their winning streak to 11 games—the longest since the 2017-18 season.
The Boozer twins, hailing from Florida, are no strangers to the spotlight. Cameron, ranked second overall on the 247Sports 2025 Composite, praised the Blue Devils' defense and team chemistry during an interview with Duke Blue Devils On SI. He noted that the team's competitiveness sets them apart from others in the nation. Cameron, standing at 6-foot-9 and weighing 245 pounds, remarked on the team's remarkable length and size, which contribute to their dominance on the court. “They play really hard and get after it,” he said, reflecting on his visit to Duke. Cayden, while not able to attend the game, remains equally impressed by the team's performance. Both brothers are keen observers of the Blue Devils' progress, especially given their impending commitment to the university.
Jon Scheyer's third batch of Blue Devils has been nothing short of spectacular. The team's recent win over Notre Dame, where freshman Cooper Flagg set a new school record with 42 points, exemplifies their rising star power. Cameron Boozer expressed admiration for Flagg's high motor and dedication, predicting a bright future for the young player. The Blue Devils, currently ranked third in the nation, are now preparing to face Boston College in their next match. With 11 consecutive victories under their belt, the team is showing no signs of slowing down. The winning streak, the longest since 2017-18, underscores the team's resilience and talent.
The Boozer brothers' enthusiasm for Duke basketball is evident in their comments. Cameron's firsthand experience watching the team play has only solidified his belief in the Blue Devils' potential. While Cayden may not have been present for the games, his admiration for the team remains strong. Both brothers agree that the combination of defensive strength, competitive spirit, and individual talent makes this year's Duke team one of the best they've seen. As the Blue Devils continue their winning streak, the Boozer brothers look forward to joining the ranks of this formidable squad in the near future.
