Welcome to Duke, Cameron and Cayden Boozer!!

There was an argument among some posters that had nothing to do with welcoming two stud recruits to the Duke family. It has been deleted.

I’m disgusted with all of you who took part in it. You should all be thankful you did not get severe infractions.

Surprising to me Cayden is ranked 19 when his four rankings average 22.5. But we'll take it! He's a stud.

Yeah, in looking at the Wayback machine, it appears that Rivals didn't update their rankings at all in 2025. Probably because they were in the process of being bought out by On3 at the time they would have been working on updating their rankings.

So two guys got rated clearly higher than him by the other 3 services (Arenas and Sylla) weren't ranked in Rivals. Similarly, two other guys were international prospects who only got rated by On3, but were also both top-20 recruits on that site. Each of those deflates the average score.

As Kedsy mentioned in another thread, RSCI really shouldn't have included Rivals in their Final rankings this year. Practically speaking, it doesn't make a big difference: except for the late reclass guys and the occasional late bloomer, everyone else is within a spot or two of where they would have been without Rivals. The only guys really affected are the guys like Arenas, Sylla, and Wilkins. But still, Rivals really should have been excluded.
