The Boozer Twins have committed to BYU Cougar basketball over Alabama and LSU, saying, “We’re planning to take BYU basketball by storm,” according to an ABC News report.
The most exciting high school team in the country, Cameron and Cayden Boozer, have formally committed to play for the BYU Cougars, rejecting offers from Alabama and LSU, in a dramatic change to the college basketball recruitment scene. The news heralds a new era of enthusiasm and hope in Provo and represents a historic win for BYU men’s basketball.
Many people believe that 6-foot-9 forward Cameron Boozer is the best high school prospect in the country because of his exceptional scoring ability, dominance on rebounds, and versatility on defence. His twin brother, Cayden Boozer, a dynamic 6-foot-3 point guard with amazing court vision, elite handling, and a high basketball IQ, rounds out what many are calling the most brilliant sibling duo since the Morris twins or even the legendary Lopez brothers.
With family, friends, and high school coaches at their sides, the Boozer twins made the announcement during a live press conference that was broadcast throughout the country. The brothers stood together at the stage, wearing navy blue ties with white accents, and said, “We’re taking our talents to Provo.” We intend to completely dominate BYU basketball.
Many recruiting analysts were taken aback by their choice, particularly considering the strong influence of SEC powerhouses. While LSU presented substantial NIL offers, Alabama had launched a full-court push for the twins. But in the end, the Boozers stressed, BYU’s mission, morals, and the chance to create something significant together captured their hearts.
Cameron Boozer remarked, “Coach Pope believed in us as people, not just as players.” He demonstrated to us what BYU is creating—not merely a group, but a movement. We would like to take part in it.
“There’s a brotherhood at BYU, and it felt right,” Cayden continued. We aim to improve the program, compete at the greatest level, and demonstrate to the world that Provo is capable of greatness.
In addition to their extraordinary skill on the court, the Boozers have leadership, charisma, and star power, all of which are highly regarded by teammates and supporters. It is anticipated that their presence will immediately raise the Cougars’ national prominence and establish BYU as a formidable Big 12 powerhouse.
The announcement has sentimental significance as well. Carlos Boozer, their father, is a cherished Duke Blue Devil and a former NBA All-Star. The Boozers made it plain that they are creating their own legacy, and that legacy begins in Provo, despite the fact that many people assumed the twins would follow in his footsteps.
The Boozer brothers, who have their sights set on March Madness and beyond, have delivered a strong message: BYU basketball isn’t coming—it’s here.
