Top-10 national recruit and 5-star guard Mikayla Blakes, makes an SEC commitment

Mikayla Blakes made her college decision on Monday as the five-star guard committed to Vanderbilt.

She picked the Commodores from a final seven that also included Indiana, Rutgers, Stanford, Tennessee, UCLA and Wisconsin.

One of the top guards in the nation, Blakes is a 2024 recruit who is having a tremendous final season at Rutgers Prep (Somerset, New Jersey). She entered the weekend with a scoring average of 20.8 points per game.

A five-star according to ESPN, Blakes checks in as the tenth-best recruit in the nation in the 2024 class.

She made her commitment on Monday afternoon following school.

 

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.
