The most highly sought-after recruit in the Class of 2025 for college basketball is Cameron Boozer, the son of McDonald’s All-American and two-time NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer. He will have his pick of the litter but will still have two years to select where (and if) he will play on the next level.

At 6-foot-9, 215 pounds, Boozer possesses all of the talents that clubs seek for in a contemporary power forward. His frame is there, he’s capable of scoring in the low post, and has tremendous touch as both a shooter and a passer.

Boozer averaged 21.1 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals per game this past season while leading his team to a state championship.
His coaches told him that he was getting sized for his state championship ring. In reality, he was given the Player of the Year award by Kevin Love, a former winner of the award.

“Cam, I couldn’t find a sample ring,” said Love as he walked in with the Player of the Year trophy. ” But I could find a new piece of hardware.”
