On the season, Vanderbilt is currently 17-3. They lost this weekend at Tennessee.
Blakes is a versatile and athletic guard. Besides being a strong scorer who can drive to the basket or shoot from distance, she is a tough defender who is aggressive off the ball.
She is the only Vanderbilt commit to make the ESPNW 100.
