Cameron Boozer, a highly sought-after five-star recruit in the 2025 class and son of former Duke standout Carlos Boozer, has been courted by several top basketball programs, including Duke and Arkansas. Under the leadership of Coach John Calipari, Arkansas has made significant efforts to secure Boozer’s commitment.
Calipari has emphasized that, despite his move from Kentucky to Arkansas, his coaching philosophy and commitment to player development remain unchanged. He likened the transition to a company relocating its headquarters, maintaining the same core values and operations.
Boozer has expressed appreciation for Calipari’s consistent approach, noting that their relationship has remained strong despite the coaching change. This continuity has been a factor in Boozer’s consideration of Arkansas as a potential destination. Additionally, Boozer has highlighted the importance of genuine relationships and trust with coaching staff in his decision-making process.
While Duke offers a legacy connection through his father, Cameron Boozer’s focus appears to be on finding a program where he feels a strong, authentic connection with the coaching staff and a clear path for his development. Arkansas’s proactive and personalized recruitment efforts under Calipari have positioned them as a compelling option in Boozer’s eyes.
