Emilee Skinner Represents Women's Team:: Showcased promising skills, including notable passing, for the winning West team in the women's game.

Why this matters:: These performances underscore the strength and talent of Duke's No. 1 ranked 2025 recruiting class, exciting fans about the future of both the men's and women's programs.

Cameron Boozer (East): The 6-foot-9 power forward, ranked No. 3 nationally and recently named Gatorade National Player of the Year and Morgan Wootten National Player of the Year, dominated for the East. He controlled the paint, scoring 16 points and leading all players with 12 rebounds, securing co-MVP honors despite his team's loss.

Cayden Boozer (East): Cameron's twin brother impacted the game through his court vision and passing, tallying 6 assists and adding 6 points.

Nikolas Khamenia (West): The 6-foot-8 power forward played efficiently for the winning West team, shooting 60% from the field for 7 points and adding 7 rebounds and 3 assists. He also won the Knockout Challenge earlier in the week.

Emilee Skinner (West): As the sole Duke commit in the women's game so far, Skinner contributed to the West's dominant 104-82 victory. The guard from Utah displayed shifty moves and excellent court vision, hinting at her potential role in Coach Kara Lawson's squad, especially with the departure of key players.

Duke fans have reason to be excited about the future, with multiple commits demonstrating elite skills on a national stage.

Cameron Boozer continues to rack up accolades (co-MVP, Morgan Wootten POY) and looks poised to make an immediate impact.

The complementary skills of the Boozer twins (scoring/rebounding and playmaking) were evident.

Nikolas Khamenia adds efficient scoring and strong rebounding to the incoming class.

Emilee Skinner shows promise to bolster the women's team backcourt.
