NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing 8 contending teams for 5-star PG Cayden Boozer

One of the most anticipated recruitments in the 2025 NCAA Basketball class is the Boozer brothers, Cayden and Cameron. Between the two, Cameron Boozer is the megastar prospect, ranked No. 2 overall in the class. However, Cayden is highly touted in his own class, ranked No. 19 overall per 247sportsComposite.

Recently, Jamie Shaw of on3 talked with Cayden about his recruitment, including which teams are after him. That includes the four previous official visits and four new programs that have reportedly been in contact with the 6'3 point guard. One notable point made by Cayden is that his recruitment is completely separate from Cameron's, and his own decision is coming in the looming months.

Other teams could come into Boozer's recruitment but for now, these are the eight teams to watch. And with those rosters all but set for next season, we have a better look at how he'd fit with each of them in the future. Here's how Cayden Boozer would possibly fit with the options.

Arkansas Razorbacks

When John Calipari was at Kentucky, he was reportedly after both Cameron and Cayden Boozer. So it makes sense that he's going after them again. What's interesting here is that there are two five-star ball-handlers on the roster now, including transfer DJ Wagner and incoming star guard, Boogie Fland. Unless one of them are definite future NBA Draft picks a year from now, there would be a logjam for Boozer to deal with and that doesn't even include a possible transfer as well.

Duke Blue Devils

Because of the connection with the father Carlos and the program, Duke very well could be the team to beat in this recruitment. They could land both brothers since there's annual roster turnover with so many players going pro. That should be the case next year in the backcourt, with Tulane transfer Sion James around for one year, while Tyrese Proctor could go pro. Outside of Caleb Foster, there aren't other ball-handlers, giving the young Boozer a pathway to a rotation role as early as a freshman.
