    The Duke Blue Devils are a true blue blood in the sport of college basketball. They play one of the best college basketball rivalries against in-state North Carolina.

    The likes of Duke, North Carolina, UConn, Kentucky and Kansas are the top programs in the nation. Top recruits are continually attracted to these programs as they're likely to land other top talents and compete with the best in the nation.

    For example, Cooper Flagg, the consensus No. 1 overall recruit in the 2024 recruiting cycle, selected the Blue Devils over the UConn Huskies.

    Duke will have a star-studded roster this season, which is typical for their program, and they'll parlay a strong season into more and more high-level recruits to maintain a long-standing tradition of being expected to make the NCAA Tournament come March.

    On Friday, the Blue Devils cemented some short-term future safety. They landed two of the top recruits in the 2025 recruiting class. Twins Cameron and Cayden Boozer -- two top-20 players -- committed to Duke on Friday.

    The Boozer-blood is running deep at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Now 25 years ago, the twins' father, Carlos, played for Duke in Durham, NC.

    Jon Scheyer and Duke landed the twins, who were also being heavily recruited by Miami, Florida and Kentucky. The twins are the No. 2 and No. 17 recruits in the cycle, according to ESPN's metric.

    The Boozer twins are among the most decorated recruits, too. In their first three years of high school basketball, they've won the state title. They're set to four-peat in the coming season.

    The two incredible basketball players play different positions and will be huge additions for the Blue Devils one year removed from Flagg joining the team, as the No. 1 overall prospect is sure to be in the NBA this time next year.
