John Calipari extends two new 2026 offers to prospects from familiar high school
After four straight weeks of evaluations from the Arkansas basketball staff, John Calipari has pulled the trigger and extended offers to Adonis and Darius Ratliff.
The Ratliff twins are both four-star big men out of Archbishop Stepinac High School in New York. They hold offers from Alabama, Rutgers, Louisville and others.
Alabama hosted the Ratliff twins for an official visit last weekend. Adonis, a 6-foot-11 power forward, is the No. 59 player in the nation according to Rivals. Darius is a seven-foot center and is ranked No. 40 in the nation.
If the high school name sounds familiar, it’s because Stepinac is the same program that produced former Razorback and five-star guard Boogie Fland, who spent one injury-riddled season at Arkansas before he transferred to Florida.
Along with Fland, Stepinac has produced a lot of Division I talent in recent years. The Ratliffs play with another four-star in Jasiah Jervis, who Arkansas is not in on. It also produced former North Carolina guard R.J. Davis and former Duke forward A.J. Griffin, among others.
Arkansas has one commitment in the class of 2026 in Little Rock guard J.J. Andrews, and Calipari and his staff are working official visits and more to fill out the class.
