About Tolu
Expert Analysis
Max Wagner | Prep Hoops Scout
Tolu is one of the most physically imposing prospects in the 2029 class. The Stillwater forward is built like a senior, with a strong frame that helps him dominate the glass. He does a great job of rising up and securing missed shots with two hands, and offensively has the quick second leap to go right back up for two points. Tolu utilized his 6’4 frame to alter/block a few shots throughout the night, and on the offensive end he even stepped out to hit a corner three in the big win for his team.

Tolu is a hard working player who’s not afraid to do the dirty work for his team. All day long he was battling on the glass, defending opposing teams’ top wings/forwards, and finishing through contact. He’s an explosive athlete who has the bounce to finish above the rim when he has a clear path, but also does a nice job of playing off two feet and finishing through contact. When you combine his physical tools with the type of work ethic Tolu has, you get consistent production on both ends of the floor.

is 2029 six-foot-one-inch wing/forward hybrid. Taiwo plays offensive inside like a forward using size, strength and maturity around the rim. Defensively he uses size, quickness and lateral ability to limit guards. Potential as one of those types who can guard up and punish smaller defenders offensively. In the open floor Taiwo has some ball handling skills in the open floor and in the half-court setting.
