Duke basketball jumps to fifth in the 2025 recruiting rankings after Boozer commitments

After Cameron and Cayden Boozer became Duke’s first 2025 commitments, the Blue Devils vaulted to fifth in the class rankings.

Duke basketball fans might be surprised that it took head coach [autotag]Jon Scheyer[/autotag] and his staff until October for their first 2025 commitments, but the Blue Devils came through in a big way with the addition of Cameron and Cayden Boozer on Friday.

The twins from Miami, both ranked within the top 25 in 247Sports 2025 rankings, helped move the Blue Devils to fifth in the site’s team rankings with just two commitments.

As of Friday afternoon, Kentucky Wildcats are the only other school with multiple five-stars in the Class of 2025 (guard Jasper Johnson and center Malachi Moreno). The Notre Dame Fighting Irish sit atop the rankings with four commitments, but the Clemson Tigers (seventh) and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (ninth) are the only other ACC programs within the top 10.

Including the Boozer twins, 13 five-star prospects have now committed to Scheyer and the Blue Devils since the Class of 2022. Duke also made the final three for five-star small forward Shelton Henderson earlier this week, so Scheyer and his staff might not be done yet.

Carlos Boozer, the father of Cameron and Cayden, won a national championship with the Blue Devils in 2001 before a lengthy NBA career.
