Panola Picks Up Ole Miss Transfer
Patrick Fields, a 6-5, 205 pound small forward/shooting guard who red-shirted this past year at Ole Miss, will transfer to Panola College in 2003-2004.
A native of San Antonio, Tex., Fields is planning to spend one year at Panola and then transfer to a Division I school with three to play, according to Ponies Head Coach Scott Monarch.

"He's really, really good," Monarch said. "He's a more athletic version of Omar [Thomas], and some people recruited him as a point guard out of high school."
Fields was a qualifier out of high school who was a spring 2002 signee for the Rebels. He averaged 22.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists in helping lead John Jay High School of San Antonio to a 29-6 record and the Texas state title in 2001-02.
Monarch expects Fields and some of his other players to attend Jerry Mullen's JUCO Showcase in Tulsa later this month.
