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.
Duke basketball recruit Cameron Boozer
The second-ranked prospect nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite, Cameron Boozer is the headliner in Scheyer’s latest class. A 6-foot-9 power forward from Miami, Cameron averaged 22.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game for Columbus High School as a junior.

“Cam is a special talent. He’s the ultimate teammate and makes everyone on the floor better,” Scheyer said. “His passing, ability to penetrate and kick and score from anywhere on the floor is one-of-a-kind. His feel for the game, combined with his talent and his size, is exactly what you look for in terms of a modern-day NBA player.”
Duke basketball recruit Cayden Boozer
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.

“What I love most about Cayden is his competitive spirit,” Scheyer said. “He takes his game to another level when it means the most. Championship games, the biggest stage, that’s where we’ve seen him at his best. He’s a guy that does whatever it takes to win. He’s an incredibly unselfish, pass-first point guard and a really good, versatile defender.”
Duke basketball recruit Shelton Henderson
A 6-foot-6 wing from Texas, Henderson is the 22nd-ranked player nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite. He averaged 21.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.9 steals and 1.4 blocks as a junior at Bellaire High School.
“Shelton has all of the makings of a high-level player at Duke,” Scheyer said. “His athleticism, versatility as a defender, and high-level competitiveness is everything we look for. He’s going to be a guy for us that can guard multiple positions and attack the paint in a way that historically has been really successful here. His game is just scratching the surface, and I can’t wait to coach him.”
Duke basketball recruit Nikolas Khamenia
A 6-foot-8 forward from Los Angeles, Khamenia is No. 26 nationally in the 247Sports Composite. Scheyer described the all-around wing as “one of the toughest, most competitive players in the country.” Khamenia helped Harvard-Westlake win back-to-back state titles.
“He’s an incredible connector, has the feel and understanding of what it takes to win at every level, and has the competitive spirit to do whatever’s required of him,” Scheyer said. “I’ve been blown away by Nik’s skill set – he can shoot, handle, he’s a high-level passer, and he can defend multiple positions. We can’t wait to welcome him to our program.”
