“MOVE OVER, BOOZERS — DUKE IS ALREADY HUNTING ITS NEXT SET OF NBA-BLOODLINE TWINS”…Read More….
In a college basketball world that has never been more obsessed with legacy recruits, Duke is once again positioning itself at the forefront of the talent pipeline. After the headline-making arrival of Cameron and Cayden Boozer — sons of Duke legend and NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer — the Blue Devils may already be targeting the next wave of basketball royalty: another pair of twins with NBA DNA that has scouts buzzing long before their recruitment cycle peaks.
Sources around the grassroots basketball scene say Duke’s coaching staff has “serious and early interest” in the rapidly rising duo, whose family name carries enough weight to turn heads in NBA front offices, let alone college programs. While NCAA rules prevent schools from commenting on recruits directly, the buzz surrounding the twins has grown louder with each high-profile tournament appearance, sparking comparisons to the Boozers’ meteoric rise through the high school ranks.
These twins, described by scouts as “complete opposites on the floor but perfectly complementary,” have become must-see prospects. One is a dynamic shot-creator with an elite first step and pro-level confidence; the other is a polished two-way forward with a frame that already looks built for the ACC. Their father, a former NBA star known for his longevity and versatility, has kept a low profile during their recruitment — but evaluators can’t help naming the obvious: their genetics scream NBA upside.
For Duke, the timing is no coincidence. With Jon Scheyer continuing to double down on a philosophy that blends five-star talent with high-IQ system fits, the chance to secure another set of twins — especially from a prominent basketball family — represents the type of long-term roster-building move that has defined modern recruiting wars. And given the success the Boozers are expected to bring to Durham, Duke’s brand as the home of “next-generation stars” has never been stronger.
“You can’t coach chemistry like that,” one AAU official said. “Twins bring a natural connection to the court that gives teams an immediate advantage. Coaches know it, recruiters know it, and Duke has already seen it with the Boozers. They want to keep that momentum going.”
Insiders note that the twins’ recruitment will be fiercely competitive, with multiple bluebloods already positioned to make major pushes. Kentucky, Michigan State, Arizona, and North Carolina are all monitoring the situation closely, and one West Coast coach reportedly labeled the pair as “program-changing from day one.”
Still, the early signs point toward Duke being uniquely equipped to build the strongest pitch. The Blue Devils’ history with NBA families — from the Plumlee brothers to the Jones and Curry legacies — resonates with players who have grown up around the game. Add in the exposure of the Cameron Indoor stage and Duke’s recent success in sending one-and-done stars to the NBA, and the path becomes even clearer.
While official offers and visits may still be months away, the conversation is already electric. If Duke ultimately lands the twins, it would mark another era-defining win in an increasingly competitive recruiting landscape — and an undeniable statement that the next chapter of basketball royalty in Durham is already being written.
For now, one thing is certain: the Boozers may not be the only brothers dominating Durham for long.
