With that we see the player that he is today. A two way guard that can score at all 3 levels, and defend the best. He is very coachable and pays attention to the little details in order to play the game the right way.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br /></strong><br /></span>Blake is one that you will want apart of your program because of the energy he brings on and off the floor. A student athlete that does the right thing all of the time and one that is willing to put in the work to be great."</em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br /><br /></strong></span>- Coach Zach Crawford (Head Mens Basketball Coach)<br /><br /><em>“Blake is a great young man and as an older brother to many siblings I’ve seen him be a leader on and off the court. Attitude and energy are never issues with this player. He understands the game and his role to remain efficient while helping his teammates. I see Blake as a player who’s still blossoming and will continue to improve over the next few years. Right now his greatest assets to his teams are his knock down perimeter shooting, being a good teammate and locker room presence, and his basketball IQ. Including being a great teammate and wanting to do what’s necessary to maximize his role for the team to be successful.”</em> <br /><br />- Coach Stout (AAU Coach)<br /></span>
