USC Secures Top 2026 Basketball Recruits Twin Brothers Over Texas Alabama

The USC Trojans have made significant strides in recruiting, particularly in men's basketball, by securing commitments from the highly ranked Ratliff twins, Darius and Adonis, both four-star prospects standing 7 feet tall. These commitments represent a major win for USC, as the twins chose the Trojans over other top programs such as Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas, bolstering USC's roster with top-tier talent and potential NBA prospects. Darius Ratliff, the higher-ranked twin, is noted for his versatility and modern big man skills, while Adonis brings size, athleticism, and shooting ability, both contributing to a strong frontcourt presence. Their decision underscores USC's growing appeal and recruiting momentum under coach Eric Musselman, who has a track record of developing NBA-caliber players. Additionally, USC is gaining traction in football recruiting, with top prospects like John Meredith III including the Trojans in their top choices, signaling a broader upswing in USC's athletic recruitment efforts. These developments come as USC aims to capitalize on off-season momentum and improve competitiveness in the Big Ten conference.
