BREAKING: Cameron and Cayden Boozer, Nation’s Top Twin Phenoms, Stun Basketball World, Flip Commitment from Duke to Michigan
ANN ARBOR, MI — In a stunning, program-altering coup, twin brothers Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the sons of NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer and the most coveted sibling duo in a generation, announced their shocking joint decommitment from Duke on Thursday, pledging instead to play for Head Coach Dusty May and the Michigan Wolverines.
The announcement, delivered in a synchronized live-stream that instantly crashed recruiting platforms, marks the first earth-shaking victory of the May era and the most significant basketball recruiting win in Michigan history. Cameron, a 6-foot-9 forward and the consensus No. 1 overall player in the 2025 class, and Cayden, a 6-foot-4 point guard and a top-15 prospect, had been the foundational pillars of Jon Scheyer’s recruiting class at Duke, viewed as the definitive package deal destined to continue the Blue Devils’ dynasty.
“Our journey has always been together, and now it leads us to a new family in Ann Arbor,” said Cayden Boozer, addressing the audience flanked by his brother. “The vision Coach May has for us, the opportunity to build a legacy at a program with unlimited potential, and the commitment to excellence on and off the court is what we believe in. We’re ready to make history at Michigan. Go Blue.”
For first-year Head Coach Dusty May, landing this tandem is a thunderous, culture-defining statement to the college basketball world. In his first major recruiting battle, beating a blue-blood powerhouse like Duke for the nation’s premier player and his elite brother validates May’s magnetic, player-centric approach and the allure of Michigan’s combination of academic prestige, Big Ten platform, and robust NIL infrastructure through “The Victors Collective.” It proves Ann Arbor can be a destination for the sport’s most elite high school talent.
The on-court implications are immediate and staggering. The duo brings an unparalleled, pre-existing chemistry and a complete championship skill set. Cameron is a franchise-changing big man with pro-ready size, skill, and IQ, capable of anchoring both ends of the floor. Cayden is a dynamic lead guard and playmaker who can orchestrate the offense and score at all three levels. Their commitment instantly launches Michigan’s 2025 recruiting class into the national top three and provides the Wolverines with a transformative core to build around for the next decade.
The national ramifications are profound. For Duke, this is a historic, devastating loss, stripping the program of its crown jewel recruits. For the Big Ten, it announces Michigan as an immediate basketball powerhouse under May, equipped to challenge the conference’s elite. For the sport, it signals that a new era of coaching stars, armed with a fresh vision and modernized resources, can instantly rewrite the recruiting map.
In Ann Arbor, Crisler Center is already buzzing with a fervor not felt in years. Cameron and Cayden Boozer are more than recruits; they are a revolution. Dusty May hasn’t just landed two players; he has secured the foundational pillars of Michigan’s championship ambitions and delivered a stunning blow to the college basketball establishment. The message is unequivocal: the Wolverines are not just back in the conversation—they are now leading it, with the nation’s most talented twins leading the charge.
