Stellar opening performance by this freshman adds pressure on Cam Boozer to steal the show in debut

Duke basketball 5-star freshman Cameron Boozer was absolutely dominant through the Blue Devils' two exhibition games as the forward enters the 2025-26 season as one of the most talented freshmen in the nation. However, after Arizona freshman Koa Peat's elite debut on November 3rd, Boozer might have some added pressure on him to dominate in his regular season debut to keep himself cemented as the best rookie forward in college basketball. The consensus top three freshmen in the country heading into the season were Kansas' Darryn Peterson, BYU's AJ Dybantsa, and Boozer. Now, after Peat's unreal first game, Boozer needs to show in his opener that he's still the most dominant freshman frontcourt piece college hoops has to offer.
