    Cameron and Cayden Boozer are following in the path of father Carlos Boozer in playing basketball for Duke .

    The twin brothers, both ranked as five-star prospects, announced their commitment Friday in a video posted on the Players' Tribune.

    Cameron is a 6-foot-9 power forward who is ranked the No. 2 college prospect in the ESPN top 100. Cayden is a 6-5 guard ranked No. 17 by ESPN.

    The Boozer brothers are Duke's first commitments in the class of 2025. The two continue a strong run of recruiting success for third-year Blue Devils coach Jon Scheyer, who took over for five-time national champion coach Mike Krzyzewski after the 2021-22 season.

    The Blue Devils signed the country's No. 1-rated class for this season headed by the No. 1 recruit in 6-9 Cooper Flagg, considered the top pick in next year's NBA Draft, should he choose to leave college.

    The Boozer brothers' dad, Carlos, played at Duke from 1999-2002 and was part of the Blue Devils' national championship team in 2001.

    He was a first-round pick in the 2002 NBA Draft by Cleveland and spent 13 seasons in the league with the Cavaliers , Utah , Chicago and the Los Angeles Lakers .

    "They made the best decision for them. Me and Mom couldn't be any prouder," the elder Boozer said. "It's going to be a fun journey."
