Arkansas Razorbacks' Calipari in Florida Tuesday to see trio of 5-star recruits

Calipari and his assistant coaches were courtside on the Nike EYBL circuit throughout the spring and summer watching Rosser compete.

The Razorbacks long ago offered Rosser a scholarship.

He was one of the first players Arkansas contacted just after midnight on June 15, which was the first day Division 1 coaching staffs could make direct contact with class of 2027 recruits.

Beckham Black attended the Razorbacks' home basketball game against SEC foe Oklahoma in January 2025.

Calipari not planning trip this week to see twin towers in New York

Twin 7-footers Darius and Adonia Ratliff have become attractions for Arkansas coaches since the current recruiting period opened up Sept. 3.

First, it was Razorbacks assistant coach Chuck Martin who traveled to Archbishop Stepinac in West Plains, N.Y., to see the Ratliffs.

Next it was two Arkansas assistants, Martin and Brad Calipari, who were at the school on Monday, Sept. 8, to see them.

A source told us last week that the Head Hog, John Calipari, was considering a trip to see the Ratliff twins this week.

But a source within the Stepinac basketball program confirmed on Monday that as of now there's not a John Calipari trip to the school planned for this week.

Going back to April 20, Martin has made three trips to Stepinac to evaluate the twins.

Arkansas is not the only school to flock to Stepinac in recent weeks to see the Ratliffs.

Alabama head coach Nate Oats, Pitt head coach Jeff Capel, and assistant coaches from Florida, Creighton, and Oklahoma State have also been out to see them in the past week alone.

The frontline duo is versatile with the ability to shoot three-pointers as well as using dribble-drive craft to create shots in the mid-range, and of course they can finish above the rim at the basket.

Darius Ratliff is listed as a 7-foot, 215-pound center, and he is ranked as the No. 52 prospect in the nation according to ESPN.

Adonis Ratliff is also listed as a 7-foot, 215-pound center, and is ranked as the No. 86 prospect in the nation according to ESPN.

Their father, Theo Ratliff, was a longtime NBA center who was an all pro.

Their sister, Yasmeen Ratliff, played for the Arkansas Razorbacks women's basketball team in the late 2010s.

At this time, the Ratliff twins do not hold scholarship offers from Arkansas.
