Baba Oladotun, the five-star small forward from James Hubert Blake (MD), announced his commitment to Buzz Williams and Maryland on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-10 wing chose the Terps over Georgetown, Kentucky and Arkansas and has visited all four schools.
His father, Ibrahim, said the decision was based on travel time, and that it would be easier for him to drive to Maryland than Georgetown.
“You just find the one that we felt like, logistically, what’s best for us,” he said, per Inside the Black & Gold. “When you look at it, if I have to go to Georgetown, maybe 15, 20 minutes more. You multiply that by 365 days. That’s about 7,000 minutes. That’s about 120 hours. What can you do with that?…I’m very stingy when it comes to my time. I can drive 20 minutes to the game, get a good parking…I can go to campus and grab my two daughters and go have lunch and dinner. How long am I going to have that opportunity? I don’t know”

“I can spread the floor,” Oladotun said of his game this summer. “I can play any position on the court. I can play whatever you want me to play, both offense and defense. And the three ball is definitely one of the best parts of my game, my ability to spread the floor.”
