Duke freshman Cameron Boozer is ready to start his college career with one of the most iconic programs in college basketball history. The talented forward comes from a family with a pedigree at Durham.
His father, Carlos Boozer, left a huge mark and set several records during his three-year tenure with the Blue Devils, which also included a national championship in 2001. Following Cooper Flaggās departure to the NBA, Cameron Boozer and his twin brother Cayden are expected to take over the team and take it to compete for a second consecutive Final Four appearance.
He knows that the challenge will be hard, but Boozer isnāt running away from the grind. Fresh off winning the Gatorade National Player of the Year award, the freshman sent a strong message to Dukeās doubters.

āThere wasnāt much that Boozer left in his bag on Tuesday night in Durham, showcasing his ability to get to the rim, scoring in the midrange, and flash a surprisingly efficient 3-point shot,ā wrote Connelly.
Boozer believes his team is being overlooked, but he vowed to change peopleās minds once they begin watching their games. There will be a lot of young prospects who will draw a lot of attention in the upcoming season, but Boozer is already making statements.
