White Plains (N.Y.) Archbishop Stepinac High School, currently sitting at No. 1 in the country according to MaxPreps, showcased its development pipeline in a major way on Thursday as five seniors signed their college letters of intent. It was a statement of what the program has built—elite talent, elite culture, and a future that extends far beyond high school basketball.

The headline commitments came from the 7-foot twins, Adonis and Darius Ratliff, who will remain a tandem at the next level after choosing USC. Their decision gives head coach Eric Musselman a rare combination: two physically gifted bigs with chemistry already forged through years of competing together.
Adonis brings fluidity, scoring touch, and rim presence, while Darius supplies strength, defensive edge, and interior control. Together, they form a frontcourt foundation that could transform the Trojans from day one.

Stepinac’s backcourt talent also made their next chapters official. Jasiah Jervis, a cerebral lead guard capable of directing offenses and setting the tone defensively, signed with Michigan State. His poise, decision-making, and toughness align seamlessly with Tom Izzo’s identity: compete every possession, play through contact, and lead from the front.

Hassan Koureissi, known for his shooting range and spacing ability, committed to Fordham. His ability to stretch defenses, attack gaps, and keep the floor balanced gives the Rams a versatile perimeter option who can grow into a reliable scoring and playmaking presence.

Rounding out the group, forward Dylan Perry signed with Monmouth, bringing length, switchability, and a relentless motor. Perry thrives in transition, defends multiple spots, and impacts games without needing heavy touches—exactly the kind of glue player successful college rotations rely on.

For Stepinac, the moment captured the essence of its program: development that produces results. These five seniors didn’t simply earn opportunities—they elevated the standards around them. Their success reflects the work ethic, accountability, and competitive fire that have propelled Stepinac to the top of the national rankings.

What happened on Thursday wasn’t just a signing ceremony—it was the next step in a dynasty taking shape.
