Meridian (Idaho) So Cal Academy four-star power forward Drew Fielder has requested a release from his National Letter of Intent with Providence, according to a report from 247Sports’ Travis Branham.

His decision comes after news broke yesterday of Providence head coach Ed Cooley resigning his post to take the open head coaching job at Georgetown. Fielder is the second Providence commit to leave the Friars’ class, joining four-star point guard Garwey Dual.

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
