Florida Gators

Dating back to his time at San Francisco, Coach Todd Golden has a good history of his point guards being lead guys and all-conference performers. That includes last season’s starter, Zyon Pullin. Boozer would be the most talented player for him and could thrive. Plus, the starting spot would likely be available once Walter Clayton Jr. is gone after next season.

Kentucky Wildcats

Kentucky built a relationship with Boozer under the previous coaching staff and it looks like they’re after him again with new coach Mark Pope. Guards Lamont Butler and Kerr Kriisa will be gone after next season and they have no commits in the 2025 class so far. So right now, Boozer would be the starting PG but that would change if they land 5-star targets, Jasper Johnson and/or Meleek Thomas.

Miami Hurricanes

The Hurricanes have been an early contender for the Boozer brothers and it looks as if head coach Jim Larranaga will be around for at least a few more years. When it comes to the backcourt, Nijel Pack has just one season of eligibility left, while incoming 5-star combo guard Jalil Bethea could also be a “one and done” player to the draft. There would be a clear role for Boozer out the gate and he’d get to play Duke a couple of times a year, creating even more intrigue for him and the battles.
