But he wasn’t alone. No, his twin brother and fellow Blue Devil commit, five-star guard Cayden Boozer, also showed out in the Columbus High School (Fla.) Explorers’ tournament opener.

The Boozers, who combined for 49 points, and their No. 1 seed squad took on No. 9 seed Wasatch Academy (Utah), cruising to a 76-62 victory and punching their ticket to the semifinals.

Cameron Boozer flirted with a triple-double in the win, posting a game-high 25 points to go along with nine rebounds, seven assists, four blocks and two steals. He also shot an efficient 8-for-11 from the floor and 5-for-7 from downtown.

Cayden Boozer was prolific as well, pouring in 24 points with seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals. He was only slightly less efficient, finishing 9-for-16 from the field, but he delivered a perfect 4-for-4 mark at the charity stripe.

And less than 24 hours later on Friday afternoon, they secured a spot in Saturday’s championship game via their 47-45 victory over fellow prep powerhouse Brewster Academy (N.H.). The Explorers ultimately advanced thanks to Cayden Boozer’s oh-so-clutch pull-up jumper at the buzzer:

Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and his staff enjoy the nation’s top-ranked 2025 recruiting class, consisting of the Boozer twins plus two more five-star prospects in Bellaire High School (Texas) forward Shelton Henderson and Harvard-Westlake School (Calif.) forward Nik Khamenia.
