Day after day in the fall, a blue Infiniti SUV puttered down Route 1, traversing the highway cutting across Maryland in a path often hindered by traffic and construction.
Inside sat one of the top boys’ basketball players in the Class of 2027, Baba Oladotun. His father, Ibrahim, drove him from the family’s Colesville home to DeMatha’s Hyattsville campus.
Oladotun looked ready to join the Stags, adding another name to the long list of elite talent at private schools. But, largely because of a tedious commute, he switched to his nearby public school, Blake, in late October.
Oladotun is likely to be the most impactful of them. He’s a 6-foot-9 guard and still growing. Some call him “Baba the Baller,” as his Instagram name suggests, and the content of that account validates the moniker. In a September highlight reel, he starts with a dunk and knocks down a three-pointer. Later, he snakes through the defense on a pick and roll and finishes with a reverse layup.
