Highly touted college basketball recruits and twin brothers Cameron and Cayden Boozer will reportedly announce their engagement this week.

According to Travis Branham of 247Sports, the Boozer brothers will make their official college decision on Friday.

Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald previously reported Wednesday that Cameron and Cayden have narrowed their list of suitors to Duke and Miami.

Both Boozer brothers are among the top prospects in the 2025 recruiting class, and they are very different types of players despite being twins.

Cameron is 6 feet tall and weighs 235 pounds. He is a five-star prospect, as well as the No. 2 overall recruit, No. 1 power forward and No. 1 player from the state of Florida in his class, according to 247Sports.

Meanwhile, Cayden is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound point guard who is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 21 overall player, No. 4 point guard and No. 4 player out of Florida, and rated as a 4-star prospect.

The Boozers star at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Florida, which may give the University of Miami an edge, but they also have deep ties to Duke University.

Cameron and Cayden’s father is former NBA power forward Carlos Boozer, who played three seasons at Duke and won a national championship in 2001.

Carlos was a second-round pick in the 2002 NBA draft and went on to enjoy a successful 13-year NBA career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers.

He averaged 16.2 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in 861 career games, was named an All-Star twice and won an Olympic bronze medal in 2004 and an Olympic gold medal in 2008 as part of Team USA.

Per Kaufman, Cameron and Cayden have achieved a similar level of success in their high school careers thus far.

In addition to winning three consecutive state championships, Cameron has per-game averages of 20.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.1 blocks, while Cayden averages 16.6 points, 4.8 has rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Duke is one of the most successful and prestigious basketball programs of all time, having won five national titles since 1991. The Blue Devils are also among the elite when it comes to recruiting, as they have the No. 1 class this year, led by top recruits. Cooper Flagg.

The Hurricanes have never won a national title, but they had back-to-back Elite Eight appearances in 2022 and 2023, and reached the Final Four in 2023, which was their best finish ever.

Miami is coming off a disappointing 15-17 season in 2023-24, but keeping the Boozer brothers in the region would be a huge boost to the program’s championship aspirations.
