Baba Oladotun, a five-star small forward in the 2026 class, is down to four schools, he told Rivals: Kentucky, Georgetown, Maryland, and Arkansas.

The 6-foot-8 small forward out of James Hubert Blake High (MD) has officially visited each of his finalists.

Oladotun is ranked as the No. 7 overall player in the 2026 class, according to Rivals Industry Rankings. He’s also the No. 3 ranked small forward and the No. 1 player in Maryland.

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.

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.”
