I haven't found much about this guy; first note I saw about him is behind Recruit Recon's pay wall, which I don't have a subscription to.

Note that Recruit Recon's player profile says he's 6'10"; Oak Hill's roster has him at 6'9" (http://www.oakhillhoops.com/roster-player-profiles/2009-2010-oak-hill-academy-basketball-roster/)

Yemi Makanjuola ’11 of Oak Hill Academy (VA) and the New York Panthers came to the United States from Nigeria in January, but is already getting recruiting interest. Makanjuola and Rodney Johnson, someone who helps with his recruitment, listed St. John’s, Loyola Marymount, Virginia Tech, George Mason, West Virginia, Siena, Hofstra, and others.

Yemi Makanjuola '11 showed some real nice flashes while playing with the New York Panthers. A 6'8 power forward out of Oak Hill Academy (VA), Makanjuola did not get much run playing for the powerful OHA, but he is definitely a Division I player. Makanjuola rebounds, plays smart, can block shots, and scores a bit.

Oak Hill also has three juniors on the squad that could be part of the 2011 recruiting class. Keith Hornsby, a 6’3” point guard, and son of the famous singer Bruce Hornsby, has verbally committed to UNC-Asheville. Devon “Dee” Anderson and Yemi Makanjuola are also juniors that could factor in to the college game in the 2011-2012 season.
