4-star PF Drew Fielder commits to Georgetown

Castaic (Calif.) So Cal Academy four-star power forward Drew Fielder has committed to Georgetown.

Fielder was previously committed to Providence but requested a release from his National Letter of Intent with the Friars after news broke last week of head coach Ed Cooley resigning his post to take the open head coaching job at Georgetown.

“I chose Georgetown because of my relationship with coach (Ed) Cooley,” he told On3. “I really trust what he’s saying and I really believe that he believes in me. He believes we can make Georgetown really good together. They have a good history and we want to keep that going. Keep the history of elite bigs coming through. I’m really excited.”

Fielder is the No. 117 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the nation’s No. 23 power forward and the No. 16 senior recruit in the state of California.

Drew Fielder Scouting Summary

“Drew Fielder has a naturally big frame. He is legit 6-9/6-10 with solid length and good dexterity. Fielder has good hands and touch that extends beyond the three-point arc. He is an active area rebounder, especially on the defensive end. There will be questions about his athleticism, especially where does he defend. Fielder is not a rim protector. He has good footwork on the offensive end, both on the block and facing the basket. He can pick and pop with soft touch and range that extends beyond the three. Fielder has touch over both shoulders and a go-to move he is comfortable with.” — Jamie Shaw, On3 National Recruiting Analyst
