Babatunde Oladotun is reclassifying from the 2027 class to the 2026 class and will graduate in spring 2026 from Blake High School in Maryland. At 16 years old, he is a top prospect who gained 20 pounds over the past year. Oladotun has excelled in the 17U division for Team Durant and has the potential to be a McDonald's All-American and a lottery pick in 2027. His scoring ability is displayed through his impressive shooting percentage and diverse offensive skills.
"First and foremost, I am ahead of schedule academically and will graduate next year," Oladotun told ESPN. "Most of my life, I have played up in age and after playing in the 17U division for Team Durant, I felt comfortable. I have gained 20 pounds over the last year and it never felt like I was playing up. Lastly, I am staying and graduating from Blake High School."
Oladotun becomes an immediate candidate for next year's McDonald's All-American game and has a chance to become a top-10 lottery draft pick in 2027. The 2026 NBA draft class is not as strong as either of the previous two classes, which will only help his profile.
Oladotun is a legitimate three-level scorer. When he gets inside the arc, he demonstrates the ability to rise and shoot over defenders with balance and touch, and he converts at an impressive 52% clip, according to Synergy Sports. He's uniquely equipped for success on the court.
Still just 16 years old, Oladotun follows in the footsteps of top prospects like AJ Dybantsa and Cooper Flagg, who reclassified after strong showings in summer play. Oladotun won't be 17 until December, much like Flagg's timeline when he reclassified to the class of 2024.
