Duke basketball has officially announced the signing of four players from the 2025 recruiting class.
Cameron Boozer and Cayden Boozer, along with Shelton Henderson and Nikolas Khamenia, have signed their national letters of intent to join the Blue Devils for the 2025-26 season. With that quartet, third-year coach Jon Scheyer is on track for another top-ranked recruiting class.
If that No. 1 ranking holds, Duke would have the top recruiting class in three of the last four years, according to 247Sports.
In a school-issued release, Scheyer offered his thoughts on the Blue Devils’ latest additions as he begins to build the 2025-26 roster. Here’s what Scheyer had to say about what the Boozer twins, Khamenia and Henderson can bring to Duke.

Cayden Boozer, Cameron’s twin brother, is considered one of the top pass-first point guards in the nation. The No. 23 recruit nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite, Cayden averaged 12 points, 7.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals a game as a junior at Columbus.
