One of the first big showdowns of the 2023-24 college basketball season is happening on Friday night in Durham as the Duke Blue Devils host Arizona for a ranked Power Five clash at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Two of the biggest prospects on the recruiting trail are in attendance for the showdown: Miami Christopher Columbus twins Cameron and Cayden Boozer.

The sons of former Duke standout and NBA veteran Carlos Boozer are on an official visit with the Blue Devils this weekend. It’s the fourth official visit for the pair, as they’ve previously made stops at Kentucky, Miami and Florida.

Cameron Boozer is the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Cayden checks in as the No. 16 recruit and No. 3 PG in the class.

“(I hear from Duke) a good amount,” Cameron told KSR in July. “He’s a good coach who is following up an all-time great. It’s tough, but I feel like he’s going to do a good job the next couple of years.”

“Coach Scheyer and Coach Lucas (reach out),” Cayden added. “They did a good job last year and I’m looking forward to what they do this year and the years after that.”

Cameron and Cayden Boozer Scouting Summaries

Cameron — “Cameron Boozer plays at one level, never too high or never too low. He plays with excellent balance in all parts of the game. The jump shot has a smooth release. He is an excellent defensive rebounder and a high-level outlet passer. He has strong hands when he gathers the ball. Does not mind getting physical and will play with and through contact. He has good straight-line athleticism and runs the floor very well. Has average burst in short space, but he understands angles and rotations on the defensive end very well. Never rushed. Good pace.”

Cayden — “Cayden Boozer is a strong-framed and aggressive point guard. At 6-foot-2, 6-foot-3 is a tough on-the-ball defender. He has quick feet at the point of attack and a strong IQ, understanding angles, and footwork. There is a toughness about Boozer. He is a good passer, plays well out of the pick and roll, his head is up, and has a great pace. He will need to continue to tighten the handle in traffic and continue to hone the reads, but that is natural growth. The jump shot is streaky; it is something he will need to continue developing to become a consistent threat. Boozer finishes well in the paint through contact.”
