In the halls of James Hubert Blake High School, the name echoes with the promise few prep stars generate. Standing at 6-10 and armed with a shooter’s touch and forward’s frame. Oladotun has morphed from a local standout into a national recruiting obsession. With the announcement of his commitment looming, the future of college hoops is watching closely.

Why Oladotun Is One of the Nation’s Elite

Oladotun is the full definition of a five-star recruit. According to 247Sports, the small forward out of Maryland is rated No. 10 nationally in the Class of 2026 and holds a composite score well above 0.990.

Oladotun’s versatility is rare; he can handle the ball like a guard, shoot from beyond the arc, and defend multiple positions thanks to his length and mobility (6-10, 195 pounds).

Teams like the Arkansas Razorbacks, Kentucky Wildcats, Maryland Terrapins, and Georgetown Hoyas are in full pursuit, aware that landing Oladotun would tilt recruiting momentum in a big way.

Oladotun’s College Decision Looms Until Nov. 19

One reason he’s so coveted: on court, he averaged roughly 22.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.8 steals per game last season while shooting 42 percent from three.

There’s a clear projection here: a modern hybrid forward who stretches the defense and disrupts it on the other end. With offers from more than 40 programs and official visits booked to each finalist. The recruiting stakes have never been higher for Oladotun.

For programs like Arkansas, Kentucky, Maryland, and Georgetown, even entire conferences, the ripple effect is real. In the electric world of high school recruiting, Oladotun isn’t just a prize. He’s the prize.
