After the commitment of Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the Duke Blue Devils sit first in the 247Sports recruiting class rank. The Boozer twins committed to Jon Scheyer's team on Nov. 10. The Instagram page of Duke Men's Basketball posted a message shared by their head coach Jon Scheyer.

Scheyer started talking about the new signings and the qualities he looked for in the players.

"Each of these guys were thrilled to get them here, but, but for me, it's the makeup of the class that I'm so excited about," Scheyer said. "And there's really two main things we look for in this class, and you know it's going to continue in our program. But the first thing is competitiveness."
"And when you think about Shelton Henderson, when you think about Cayden Boozer, when you think about Nick Romania, when you think about Cameron Boozer, the word competitiveness comes to mind with all four of those guys, and that was really important to us, and how we continue to build the program, how we continue to move this thing forward, high level competitiveness."

The head coach also mentioned their recipe for forming a team.

"The second thing for us was feel for basketball instincts. When you combine their competitiveness, combine their IQ, feel for the game, that's been the recipe for some of our most special teams here, and it gives us an incredible core. There's no, no better competitors, no better players we can bring in, bring it in the country," Scheyer said.

With a strong recruiting class including Cayden Boozer and his brother and two four-star recruits, how far will the Duke Blue Devils go in the next season?
