Duke men’s basketball head coach Jon Scheyer announced his third No. 1 recruiting class in four years, according the 247Sports, with the signing of four players to the class of 2025 during the NCAA early signing period.
The top-ranked class would mark the fourth consecutive top-two class for Scheyer, after inking the top class for 2022 and 2024, and the No. 2 group in 2023. With Scheyer on Duke’s coaching staff, the program has signed a top-three class in each of the 12 seasons. If the Blue Devils go on to complete the 2025 cycle with the top-ranked class, Scheyer will have been involved with recruiting a No. 1 class to Durham for the seventh time in the last 12 years.
The four-player class – each with five-star composite rankings and among the nation’s top-25 recruits, according to 247Sports – is led by No. 2 overall prospect, Cameron Boozer (Columbus HS, Miami, Fla.), followed by No. 15 Shelton Henderson (Bellaire HS, Bellaire, Texas), No. 19 Nikolas Khamenia (Harvard-Westlake HS, Los Angeles, Calif.) and No. 21 Cayden Boozer (Columbus HS, Miami, Fla.).
This group represents some of the most remarkable achievements in high school basketball history. The Boozer twins helped lead Christopher Columbus High School to three consecutive state championships, are three-time EYBL champions, and won gold medals with USA Basketball, first at the U16 Americas tournament and then at the U17 World Cup this summer. Khamenia sparked Harvard-Westlake High School to back-to-back state titles and teamed up with Henderson to capture a gold medal with USA Basketball at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup this past summer.

“Cam and Cayden are two of the all-time winners in high school basketball. What they’ve accomplished in high school, AAU and with USA Basketball is unbelievable,” said Scheyer. “Cam is a special talent. He’s the ultimate teammate and makes everyone on the floor better. 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.”
