Columbia, South Carolina — Twin sensations Cameron and Cayden Boozer, who are widely considered to be the best twin recruits in the country, have formally committed to the South Carolina Gamecocks men’s basketball program, rejecting elite schools like Alabama and LSU in a move that is sure to cause a tremor in the college basketball landscape.
The Boozer brothers were the stars of Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, Florida, where a much-anticipated news conference was arranged to make the revelation. The brothers made their vow public while wearing striking garnet and black attire in front of family, friends, and the national media.
According to current rankings, Cameron Boozer, a 6-foot-9 forward with exceptional scoring ability and court awareness, is the top recruit in the 2025 class. Cayden, his twin brother, is a 6-foot-3 point guard with a high basketball IQ, leadership skills, and a knack for creating plays. They make up one of the most exciting teams the high school game has seen in a long time.
“We intend to dominate South Carolina basketball,” Cameron declared with a self-assured grin. “This is about creating something significant, not just about where we’re playing. We want to be a part of something extraordinary, and we believe in what Coach [Lamont] Paris is doing.
“A lot of people expected us to choose bigger programs,” Cayden said, echoing their thoughts. On and off the court, however, South Carolina demonstrated love, steadfastness, and a genuine vision for our future. That was more important than everything else.
Lamont Paris, the head coach of South Carolina, has been gaining momentum with the Gamecocks team, and this commitment is a huge victory. Getting the Boozer twins is more than simply a recruiting success; it’s a clear indication that South Carolina is prepared to take on the national scene and reshape SEC expectations.
The Boozers’ commitment also suggests that the Gamecocks program, which has been aiming for a return to national prominence since its journey to the Final Four in 2017, is feeling more energised. South Carolina may now be ready for another deep tournament run in the upcoming years thanks to the presence of these two generational superstars.
Analysts of college basketball responded quickly on social media. “Cameron and Cayden Boozer to South Carolina is MASSIVE,” tweeted Paul Biancardi of ESPN. revolutionary hires who provide leadership and star power right away.
This it not only changes the recruiting environment in the SEC, but it also reveals a lot about the Boozers’ character. Instead of taking the most favoured route, they decided on a school that best matched their objectives, principles, and future vision.
Regarding Alabama and LSU, both schools made extensive recruitment pitches and were seen as serious competitors. But ultimately, the promise of legacy, the sense of family, and the relationship with Coach Paris were what swung the balance in favour of Columbia.
The countdown to what might be one of the most influential periods in South Carolina basketball history has begun, with the Boozer twins now expected to don garnet and black.
