Khamenia committed to Duke over UCLA, Arizona, North Carolina, and Gonzaga, among many other schools. The top recruit of the 2026 class, Duke needed a strong replacement to fill Cooper Flagg’s shoes. They went big by recruiting one of the top-ranked prospects in the entire nation. One of the most accomplished players in High School Basketball, Boozer was the National Boys Basketball Player of the Year in his final season. With Isaiah Evans, who is going into his sophomore season, after announcing his intent to play for Duke next season, the Blue Devils will look to continue his development, after his breakout Freshman season. Despite recruiting four 4-star prospects, Cayden Boozer, the brother of Duke’s five-star recruit, Cameron, rumors surrounding Caleb Foster’s interest in entering the transfer portal have died down, meaning that the Junior could potentially return to Durham next season.
