Big get(s)! Why do the boozer brothers remind me a little of Austin rivers? In terms of style of play. Not the whole famous father thing.
 
TGIF! This is really something. Cooper this year and the Boozers next year. Cameron is really a load. Checks all the boxes. Someone you can build your roster around.

Cayden is intruiging also. I'm a little concerned about his foot speed as a guard but his size and ball IQ are hopefully enough to offset. Also, he is supposed to have good, quick hands.
 
Amazing news and what a way to kick off the 2025 recruiting class by landing the two biggest prizes. The college basketball world keeps changing and Duke keeps adapting to stay out in front.

From what I understand, Carlos has been separated from his wife for several years and while he remains involved in his sons' lives he was by no means a driving force in their recruitment. If anything, there was a notion that they specifically wanted to NOT go to Duke in order to "blaze their own trail." Jon and the staff had to work to overcome that narrative, and Carlos has notably refrained from commenting much on the recruitment despite his prominent role with ACC Network.

DukeMBB just put out a video with Lively narrating, it emphasizes honoring past players while also allowing the current generation to have their chance to shine, and it's a perfect story for why the Boozers chose to come.

Interestingly, at least Cameron, reminds me of the opposite of Austin Rivers. Watching him, there is zero flash to his game. He is a fundamental, no frills killer. Cayden has a little more flash to his game as befits a PG, but none, to my eyes, of the dancing-with-the-ball-ball-dominance that was Austin's high school/college trademark. The ball doesn't stick with him at all. Bottom line, all these dudes do is win, win, win.
 
Awesome how the twins featured their big brother, Carmani, in the announcement video. It is worth remembering that Carmani was very sick with Sickle Cell Anemia and Cameron and Cayden's conception and birth were central to saving his life. These 3 are bound together in so many important ways:

When their son was born with a debilitating disease, CeCe and Carlos Boozer pulled their family together.

You’re concerned about his foot speed? Based upon what? I’m intrigued. 😉
 
OMG!!!!!!!!!! Everyone was so unsure of which way they were leaning that I was preparing for the worst to not get my hopes up! This is tremendous!!! I'm so thrilled we get to keep them in The Brotherhood!

And I love how Travis Branham said they "simply are winners." I have no problems with them coming to Duke and winning a bunch of things!
