Twitter post indicates Lauren Fields a 2019 prep from Deer Creek Oklahoma has been given a scholarship offer from California WBB.

@laurendfields

A quick review of the 2019 Prospect Nation database did not include her name. She is followed on twitter by all the Cal coaches.

Is she an unranked discovery by Cal? It would seem like she maybe an interesting recruiting gambit. Does anyone have any insight regarding this recruit?

Thanks for the info, Vineyardview.

I found this tidbit from a Feb. 2017 OK Hoops Report entitled Youth Movement 2017:

Lauren Fields, 5 foot 9 Shooting Guard, Deer Creek
"On a loaded Antler’s team, Fields is an inside outside threat that is picking up recruiting interest after having an outstanding summer with Texas Elite on the Adidas circuit. Look for the Deer Creek standout and her teammates to make a run at the State Tournament in 6A".

Texas elite is in Minn for tournament starting today. Interim assist coach Talia tweeted out she is on a recruiting trip in "Prince's hometown" now. I'm sure other Cal coaches might be there too.

I think about a dozen girls from the '18/'19 classes in California visited Berkeley one weekend for a football game about a year or two ago, and Fields was the only out-of-stater among that list of names (I think Prospects Nation did a little writeup about it). She didn't have a high profile then, but I'm pretty sure I remember her being in attendance. Could be a situation where she's a decent player, good student, great person who really liked Cal and took the initiative to "pursue us."

Fields is on the left end?

And now she has committed to Cal!

Great news, thanks for posting!

I didn't find much from a quick search, but she seems to be a high-speed guard. Must be a good student to get a Cal offer after her HS soph year.

So great to hear. I hope this doesn't mean we aren't still pursuing Charisma Osborne- who seems to be very high on Cal from everything i've read. KJ too. Cal could be loaded at guard.

CF-do you mean Karisma Ortiz from Archbishop Mitty? I didn't know that Cal had offered her...GO BEARS!

Nope! The very, very talented guard from LA area. Cal Sparks

Fields is ranked #121 by Blue Star, but doesn't seem to have a bio at all with Hoopgurlz.

Video highlights...doesn't seem overwhelmingly athletic but seems to be a good shooter with nice length and strength?

The question I would be curious about is if the Sac High PG Ryane Walters of 2019, top 80 by PN and I believe top 3 or 4 by NorCal Preps, has an offer. And if not, why LG offered Fields and not Walters.
