During an interview with ESPN, he revealed why he chose Jon Scheyer's program over other offers.

"Duke was a place I visited and felt it was special from the moment I left campus. Coach [Jon] Scheyer believes in me and my abilities," Khamenia said. "Duke is a special place that has put out a lot of great players and ultimately helped them develop."

#2. Dame Sarr

On Friday, the Duke Blue Devils won the race for the commitment of Italian forward Dame Sarr who played for Barcelona in the Spanish League. He starred in the Nike Hoop Summit in April tallying 17.0 points and 4.0 rebounds against future Blue Devils teammate Cameron Boozer.

In an interview with ESPN on Friday, Sarr revealed why he committed to Jon Scheyer's team.

"Duke was my dream school," Sarr said. "I watched a lot of NCAA games this season, especially Duke. I played with Jabari Parker this season, who went to Duke. When I had the chance to go there, I had to take it."

#1. Cameron Boozer

Cameron Boozer and his twin brother, Cayden Boozer committed to the Duke Blue Devils last year. The five-star Cameron is the No. 1 forward and the No. 3 prospect in the class of 2025, according to 247Sports.

Boozer, who attended Christopher Columbus High School and won a hat-trick of Florida State championships, was crowned the Gatorade National Player of the Year for a second season in a row. He will look to replace the star quality of Cooper Flagg in the Blue Devils' roster.
