"I verbally committed to Wake Forest tonight," Fields told Rivals.com. "(I'm) a Demon Deacon."
A speedy, pass-first point guard, Fields is in the mold of a traditional point guard. He runs his team, gets others involved and has developed into a steady jump shooter who picks his spots to provide a scoring boost.
"It was a big decision for me to leave home, but me and my dad thought it was best for me," said Fields of initially leaving Detroit for Quality Education Academy. "It's all worked out at Q.E.A."
A three-star prospect, Fields joins a recruiting class that already includes three-stars Daniel Green and Chase Fischer.
"I think I'm the kind of guy who does whatever his coach needs him to," said Fields. "I can run my team, I get others involved and I'm quick. You can't teach speed and you can't stop what you can't catch."
