Syracuse basketball 4-star targets at nationally ranked Stepinac earn All-League honors

Syracuse basketball 2026 four-star recruits at a nationally ranked program in New York state have receive All-League honors for their terrific junior seasons.

Per posts on X, the New York state Catholic High School Athletic Association ("CHSAA") "AA" All-League teams have come out, and multiple players from Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., are being honored.

On the All-League first team is 2026 four-star wing and top-60 national prospect Jasiah Jervis. Making the All-League third squad is 2026 four-star wing/big man and top-50 national prospect Adonis Ratliff.

According to recruiting analysts and media reports, the Orange staff is showing an interest in both the 6-foot-5 Jervis and the 6-foot-10 Ratliff, each of whom on the AAU circuit suits up for the Bronx, N.Y.-based PSA Cardinals in Nike's EYBL league.

A huge congrats from 'Cuse Nation to Jasiah and Adonis!

Syracuse basketball 4-star recruits are preparing for post-season play.

Archbishop Stepinac has put forth a tremendous 2024-25 season to date, going 20-4 overall and 14-1 in CHSAA contests. In last week's national top 25 from MaxPreps, the Crusaders arrived at No. 19 around the country.

By the way, per X posts, the 'Cuse coaching staff has been on hand for at least one Archbishop Stepinac game, if not more than that, during the current stanza. You can view 2024-25 statistics for the Crusaders and their roster via the MaxPreps Web site.

Next up for Archbishop Stepinac is the CHSAA "AA" Archdiocesan tournament, and the Crusaders are the No. 1 seed, first playing in the semifinals of this event on Tuesday, Feb. 18, according to the league's X page.

I've written articles in the past about Syracuse basketball coaches having an interest in Jervis. When the 'Cuse held its annual Elite Camp in late August of last year, several Archbishop Stepinac players were reportedly in attendance, such as Ratliff, his brother, 2026 four-star power forward/center Darius Ratliff, 2026 four-star wing Hassan Koureissi and 2027 guard/wing Josh Rivera.

On3, in its 2026 rankings, is ultra-high on Darius Ratliff. That recruiting service currently places him at No. 24 nationally, No. 2 at center and No. 2 in New York. Ratliff is garnering interest from Syracuse basketball, too.

I'll continue to track the recruitments of these talented New York prospects and also keep tabs on how Archbishop Stepinac fares in upcoming post-season play as the 2024-25 term winds down.
