Adonis and Theo Ratliff, the 7-foot twins from Archbishop Stepinac High School (NY) and the PSA Cardinals, are down to a top four schools.
The twins are considering Alabama, Arkansas, Texas and USC, per Stepinac coach Pat Massaroni.
They completed a visit to USC earlier this week and previously visited Alabama.
“[The] visit was good,” Adonis told ZAGSBLOG via text. “The message is that me and my brother are [a] big priority for them and they want us because we’re more skilled than [the] majority of the guys in Big 10. they want us to come in and help the team win a championship.”
Unlike their father, a rugged big man known for his rebounding and blocked shots, Adonis and Darius Ratliff are modern-day big men who have more of an all-court game.
Adonis recently hit nine 3-pointers and went for 32 points in a Border League game.
“You definitely can’t back up off him,” Theo said of Adonis’s shooting range.
Darius is more of an inside player who is comfortable in the paint.
“I’ve gotten a lot of Karl-Anthony Towns [comparisons], mostly because he’s big, he can shoot, he can drive and pass,” Darius said. “Block shots, athletic.”
Asked to compare himself to Adonis, Darius said, “He’s more like downhill. He can dribble, shoot, he can do a lot. Me, I’m a big, I’m going to get inside, I’m going to rebound. He’s more of a three, I’m more of a four-five.”
Four-star guard Jasiah Jervis, who plays with the twins at Stepinac, also cut his list to five this week and set an announcement date.
