I didn't say anything about the Jordan Holiday Classic taking place in NYC this weekend because the Made Hoops website is terribly organized and failed to mention whether any of the games would be available on TV or streaming.
This morning I discovered otherwise: Adam Finkelstein of 247 Sports posted a highlight clip of the Boozer twins from their Friday night game, and said that games could be seen on the NBA app or the NBA's YouTube page.
FRIDAY: Columbus (FL) -- featuring 2025 Duke commits Cayden and Cameron Boozer -- played Bullis (MD), a team that includes 7-0 center Eric Reibe (2025 Connecticut commit) and 6-4 combo guard Adrien Stevens (2025 Marquette commit). Here are the full replay and the Made Hoops recap. I also found a box score.
Columbus came up to Baruch and dominated their matchup in convincing fashion, defeating Bulls School 70-44. The explorers had four players in double-digits with Cam Boozer leading the way with 18 points. His brother Cayden was the next leading scorer for Columbus with 15 points, while his high-flying backcourt partner Jaxon Richarsdson poured in an efficient 13 points on 6-9 shooting from the field. Caleb Gaskins did a little bit of everything on the floor, but his 12 points and 8 rebounds were impactful.
Jaxon Richardson (6-6 guard) and Caleb Gaskins (6-7 forward) are both 2026 recruits. Richardson's brother Jace is a Michigan State freshman, and their father Jason played for the Spartans from 1999-2001, winning the 2000 NCAA Tournament.
SATURDAY: Columbus (FL) played Long Island Lutheran (NY) -- Kiyan Anthony (2025 Syracuse commit) did not play, but the team also features fellow guards Nigel James (2025 Marquette commit), Kayden Mingo (2025 Penn State commit), and Dylan Mingo (2026 recruit). There's a full replay and a recap, plus a box score.
Long Island Lutheran pulled off their biggest win of the season up until this point, defeating the number one team in the country in front of a NYC crowd. LuHi’s guard trio of Nigel James, and Dylan and Kayden Mingo took turns carrying the offense at various moments of the game.
James’ defense is what initially sparked the LuHi offensive energy, forcing multiple turnovers or displaying the toughness to dig inside and rebound. Offensively his quickness and ability to finish around the rim led to him finishing with 18 points and 7 assists. Down the stretch it would be the Mingo brothers who would get it done late. Three point shooting and downhill creativity between the two of them made it hard for Columbus to keep their defense intact.
Kayden Mingo paced the Crusaders with 25 points on 9-14 shooting while Dylan Mingo added 20 points of his own, along with 4 steals. The Explorers tried to make a surge late, but couldn't manage to get key stops down the stretch. Caleb Gaskins led them in points with 21 on 10-18 from the field. Jaxon Richardson continues to display his overall productivity, scoring 19 in a variety of ways. Cameron Boozer added 12 points, with his brother Cayden adding 11 points with 10 assists.
SUNDAY: The event finishes today, and Columbus (FL) faces Link Academy (LA), featuring 6-10 post Chris Cenac, heading to Houston next year. That game will stream in about an hour (tip-off is 1pm ET). I've linked and embedded the video below, and you can also follow live stats.
Cam Boozer really is unstoppable. Might be even better than his Dad when its all said and done.
