7-foot twins Darius and Adonis Ratliff commit to USC

Four-star twins Darius and Adonis Ratliff have committed to USC, a source told Rivals.

The 7-foot big men will team-up together in college and suit up for the Trojans under Eric Musselman. The Ratliffs chose USC over Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas.

Darius is a 7-foot center ranked 36th nationally by Rivals. Adonis is a 7-foot power forward ranked 57th nationally. Both attend Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, New York.

More on the Ratliff twins

Over the last couple of weeks, Rivals’ National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw evaluated the twins at both Border League and USA Basketball and had this to say about them:

Last week, at The Border League is where the breakout started, and Adonis Ratliff was able to keep that momentum going through the weekend at USA Basketball October Minicamp. The 6-foot-11 power forward showed intriguing fluidity along with perimeter-based ball skills. He consistently shot the ball at a high clip, while also showing he could get downhill toward the rim in the half-court. He is going to have to add weight, this will help his game in all aspect. But the intriguing he brings with his size, athletic fluidity, and shooting ability makes Ratliff’s ceiling very high.

Darius Ratliff was one of the big winners of the weekend, following a strong Border League performance last season. Ratliff, much like his twin Adonis, is a fluid mover with excellent length and touch. He also showed he is not afraid to mix it up around the basket. While burying multiple pick and pop threes throughout each session, he chased the offensive glass, flashed to the paint, and finished at the basket as well. He is thin, very thin, and will need to stay healthy, but the upside is immense and everytime he is on the floor you can see him growing toward it.
