Cameron Boozer, Cayden Boozer Commit To Duke 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Oct 11, 2024 3:28 pm

Cameron Boozer and Cayden Boozer have announced their commitments to Duke for the incoming class of 2025. Cameron is the second ranked player in the class, while Cayden is a top-20 recruit.


Cameron and Cayden are the sons of Carlos Boozer, who played for Duke until he was drafted in 2002. 


"I'm proud of them. They've worked their butts off for this moment," Carlos Boozer told ESPN. "Really excited that they took their time. Decided to play together in college, which is amazing. They both complement each other so well. They made the best decision for them. Me and Mom couldn't be any prouder. It's going to be a fun journey."


The Boozers, who picked Duke over Miami, attend Christopher Columbus High School in Miami.

Maybe Carlos cam sign a 10-day and play with both kids in one game, thusly sticking it to Lebron one more time.

They’ll be fine their Dad was a good guy and well respected. I don’t think he raised his kids in any way like LaVar did.

Raised them to be law abiding nba players lmao ? You act like they get in trouble off the court or something.

They were arrested and exiled out of a country for being thieves and it’s not like they’re great role models now, they don’t do anything that you would admire them for other than play basketball.

I don't understand the Ball brothers hate. They are good kids compared to the Porter Family.

Y’all act like kids don’t make mistakes. Lamelo got a max contract and Lonzo been hurt but even with not hooping he’s been low key and rehabbing and hasn’t got in any trouble. and you wanna bring up some **** that happened to lamelo before he was even in the league. I can’t stand people that harp on peoples past like they lived a perfect life since birth.

Seriously! Yes, LiAngelo got caught shoplifting in maybe the second or third worst place in the world to get caught for petty crime… but that’s the single incident for three sons who all made it to the league (even though LiAngelo was a 10-day).

If Lavar had a sin, it’s that his sons have terrible workout regimens that have broken their bodies down.

This is the ultimate deep cut. Bravo, sir.
