The Associated Press has released its Preseason All-America Team, and a different top freshman was put on the list than the Blue Devil faithful wanted to see. Duke basketball freshman phenom Cameron Boozer was totally snubbed as an AP Preseason All-American despite heading into his freshman campaign with the Blue Devils regarded as potentially the best player in all of College Basketball. BYU's AJ Dybantsa was the only rookie to make the team, with Boozer and Kansas' Darryn Peterson being left in the dust. These three freshmen are entering the 2025-26 season regarded as the consensus top three selections in the 2026 NBA Draft, and some networks even have Boozer as the top overall pick.
