Published 1 month ago2 minute read

Three Duke’s men’s basketball commits and one women’s commit were selected Monday afternoon to play in the 2025 McDonald’s All-American games. 

The three men’s game selections were Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the twins from Columbus High School in Florida, who will represent the East team, and Nikolas Khamenia of Harvard-Westlake High School in California will play for the West.

Cameron Boozer is a 6-foot-9 power forward currently ranked No. 3 in the class of 2025. His brother Cayden is a 6-foot-4 point guard currently ranked No. 16 in the ESPN top 100. The sons of former Blue Devil Carlos Boozer have led Columbus to an 18-3 record and a No. 1 ranking in the MaxPreps national top-25. The two committed to Duke Oct. 11, 2024, picking the Blue Devils over ACC foe and hometown school Miami.

Khamenia is a 6-foot-8 forward ranked No. 21 in the ESPN top 100, and has powered Harvard-Westlake to a 13-game win streak, and No. 2 national ranking, just behind Columbus. The Los Angeles native committed to the brotherhood Oct. 22, 2024 over UCLA, Gonzaga, Arizona and North Carolina.

The three were also selected to represent USA at the Nike Hoops Summit April 12, which will feature the USA Basketball Men's Junior Select Team against a team of international players. They will be joined at Duke by the top recruit in Texas, Shelton Henderson.

This brings Duke to 95 All-American selections all-time, the most of any school. Current Blue Devils Cooper Flagg and Isaiah Evans played in the game last year. 

Emilee Skinner, Duke women’s basketball’s lone commit for the 2025 class, was selected to play for the West team in the women’s game. The 6-foot point guard is ranked No. 7 in her class per ESPN, and has led Ridgeline High School to a 19-0 record and No. 1 ranking in Utah. Skinner is the 10th McDonald’s All-American to sign with Duke under Kara Lawson, and 38th all time.

The 2025 McDonald's All-American game will take place April 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the women’s game tipping off at 6:30 ET, followed by the men’s game.
