Prepare for the ultimate Duke reveal—because the 2025–26 Blue Devils just turned Cameron Indoor Stadium into a full-throttle fan festival! It’s not just a practice—it’s a blitz of sound, energy, and fireworks.
On Tuesday, August 5, Cameron’s storied court transformed from hallowed ground to fan-packed stadium. Doors flung open at 5:00 p.m., and the buzz was instant. The first 5,000 fans stormed in—yes, free entry!—to lock in prime seats for the 5:30 p.m. tip-off of Coach Jon Scheyer’s fourth Duke squad.
Forget quiet drills—this was Duke turned live. A live DJ cranked the beats, setting the electric tone, while fan contests spiked the adrenaline with instant-win prizes. Cameron became a roaring hive of Duke fandom.
Once inside, fans didn’t just see the Blue Devils—they felt them. Returning sharpshooter Isaiah Evans was locked and loaded, while a stacked 2025 recruiting class—including high-flyers like Cameron Boozer, Dame Sarr, Sebastian Wilkins, Nik Khamenia, and Cayden Boozer—let off sparks.
Cameron Boozer carried the weight of expectation—and delivered. He drained threes from the wings and corners, dazzled in the post, and orchestrated the offense with poise beyond his years. Darren Harris? He was on fire, raining threes off drive-and-kick plays and slicing in for smooth finishes. And Patrick Ngongba, bouncing back from injury, showed off his court vision—threading passes, finishing with hook shots, anchoring offense from the low block.
Rising freshmen like Sarr, Wilkins, and Khamenia threw down jaw-dropping highlights—Sarr soared with dunks and corner threes, Wilkins pulled off rebound pop-threes and slick steal-then-dunk sequences, while Khamenia and Cayden Boozer attacked the rim with authority.
The message was unmistakable: depth, speed, and dynamic versatility. Veteran sharpshooters meshed seamlessly with bursting new talent. Scheyer’s squad promises a season of fast-paced, selfless, ball-mouthing excitement rooted in team defense and flair.
In short—this wasn’t just a practice. It was a declaration. Duke is back. And as the last beat faded and lights dimmed, one thing was clear: Cameron is ready, the fans are amped, and the Blue Devils are built to dominate.
