5-star SF Baba Oladotun commits to Maryland

Baba Oladotun, a five-star small forward in the 2026 class, has committed to Maryland.

The 6-foot-10 small forward out of James Hubert Blake High (MD) ultimately chose to stay home and play for the Terrapins over Kentucky, Arkansas, and Georgetown.

Oladotun is ranked as the No. 7 overall player in the 2026 class, according to Rivals Industry Rankings. He becomes the highest-ranked player to ever commit to Buzz Williams.

He received over 50 offers throughout the recruiting process, including from the likes of Kansas, Louisville, Tennessee, Alabama, BYU, Michigan, Gonzaga, Texas, Auburn, and others.

Oladotun becomes Maryland’s fourth commitment this cycle. He joins four-star SG Kaden House (No. 42 NATL), four-star PF Adama Tambedou (No. 108 NATL), and three-star SG Austin Brown (No. 176 NATL).

More on Oladotun

Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw has evaluated Baba Oladotun on multiple occasions. Here is what he recently wrote about him:

“You immediately notice the length and the frame with Baba Oladotun. The jump shot is what he does, and it is where his production comes from at this point. His footwork getting into the jump shot is clean, and Oladotun is confident getting into it off the bounce or the catch. He is a threat as a pull-up jump shooter, getting a high release with good balance. He will need to continue adding weight, and with that, he could become a more consistent rebounder. With his length and natural athleticism, there is an upside there on the defensive end. The tools are obvious, and the upside here is worth monitoring.”
