According to 247Sports, five-star sophomore small forward Babatunde Oladotun, a 6-foot-8, 200-pound wing at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville (Maryland), was extended an offer by Eric Musselman and USC basketball.
In his freshman season Oladotun attended James Hubert Blake High School in nearby Silver Springs, Maryland.
The class of 2027 recruit also plays for plays for Team Durant on the EYBL circuit.
Oladotun also holds offers from his father’s alma mater, Virginia Tech, along with Louisville, West Virginia, Tennessee, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Creighton, UCLA and Maryland.
“I’m skilled and pretty tall for how I play,” Oladotun told On3. “I can defend all positions. Shooting, I would say, is probably my specialty. My athleticism and defense are getting better. I watch a lot of Brandon Ingram and Kevin Durant. They’re both taller guards and score it efficiently. Durant is a top-five scorer of all time.”
If USC can get a player who is 20 percent as good as Durant, it would be a big splash.
