Calipari’s Recruitment Efforts for Cameron Boozer Intensify
Razorbacks coach John Calipari is determined to recruit 5-star power forward Cameron Boozer for Arkansas. Boozer, son of NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, is highly regarded as the No. 2 player in the 2025 class. After Boozer’s 20-point performance at Peach Jam, Calipari scouted him from the front row, alongside monitoring other prospects. Though Boozer hinted at visiting another school before halting his recruitment, Calipari remains undeterred.
Calipari recently traveled to Istanbul to watch the USA 17U FIBA team, with Boozer scoring 29 points against France. Calipari’s history of producing NBA first-round picks at Kentucky highlights his recruiting prowess. Though Arkansas lacks Kentucky’s national prestige, Calipari’s influence has already attracted a trio of 5-star recruits to the Razorbacks, raising their recruiting potential.
While Duke is the presumed leader for Boozer, Calipari’s involvement makes Arkansas a noteworthy contender. Boozer’s impressive junior year stats, including a 40-point game and averaging 22 points and 11 rebounds, underscore his elite talent. Calipari’s efforts suggest that Arkansas could become a significant player in landing top-tier recruits.
