The power is strong with these two.

Twins Cameron and Cayden Boozer, top prospects in the class of 2025, announced in a video posted on X Friday morning that they will continue their basketball careers together at Duke University.

With their commitment, the Boozers will follow in the footsteps of their father Carlos, who won a national title with the Blue Devils in 2001.

Her decision to attend Duke was based on competing offers from Miami, Kentucky and Florida, among others.

The brothers from Christopher Columbus High in Miami, Cameron and Cayden are ranked No. 2 and 21 overall prospects, respectively, in 247 sports.

Cameron is a five-star recruit and the top-ranked power forward in the Class of 2025. During his junior year in Columbus, he averaged 22.2 points, 11.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game en route to Florida's Class 7A state championship – Columbus' third in as many years.

A year earlier, following his sophomore season, Cameron was named the Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year, joining the elite group of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Jayson Tatum.

Cayden, a 6-foot-4 point guard, is a four-star recruit and the fourth-ranked guard in the 2025 class, also per 247. He averaged 12 points, 2.7 rebounds and 7.6 assists his junior year per game.

The twins were born on July 18, 2007 to two-time NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer and his wife Cece.

Carlos played for head coach Mike Krzyzewski at Duke University from 1999 to 2002.

The elder Boozer went on to play 13 seasons in the NBA for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers. He was also part of the U.S. team that won bronze at the 2004 Olympics and gold at the 2008 Olympics.

“I'm proud of her. “They worked incredibly hard for this moment,” Carlos said of his son’s commitment, according to Paul Biancardi, ESPN’s chief human resources officer.
