Recee Caldwell’s Education and Career

Ray Caldwell raised two outstanding basketball athletes. While it also brought him closer to his daughters, it wasn’t always that way. Recee confessed that she and her father had to work on hashing out their basketball-related issues on the court and have a normal father-daughter relationship outside it.

Recee was homeschooled but played basketball for two years at Claudia Taylor “Lady Bird” Johnson High School in San Antonio. At that time, she was on the USA Basketball Women’s U16 and U18 teams.

The Caldwell family has three international championship medals in their home. Two gold medals are Recee’s. She won gold with the U16 team and again at the 2014 FIBA Americas Championship.

Recee initially enrolled at UCLA and was on the Bruin’s basketball team. She transferred to Texas Tech University in 2015, and her father also joined the coaching faculty at the same time.

After sitting out the immediate season due to NCAA transfer rules, Recee played with the Lady Raiders in the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons. She then attended the University of California, Berkeley, as a graduate transfer.

Recee earned a bachelor’s degree in business, management, and marketing from Texas Tech in 2018. While in college, she was an assistant at a law firm and was a camp counselor at the Texas Tech basketball camp. She was a video coordinator for the University of Texas at Austin basketball team for a while.

She went to training camp with the WNBA but didn’t pursue professional basketball. Instead, she had player development internships with the Washington Wizards and Golden State Warriors.

According to the latest reports, De’Aaron Fox’s wife, Recee Caldwell, works in the NBA. She is involved in player development and also advises Fox on his game.

Recee Caldwell’s Volunteer Work and Philanthropy

Recee Caldwell has been a board member of Committed to Community since 2016. The organization works towards bringing the Lubbock community and local law enforcement closer together, and Recee is involved in research and strategizing the programs.

Caldwell has also given her time to food banks and children’s hospitals. She is a peer mentor with the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Recee Caldwell and De’Aaron Fox’s Relationship and Kids

De’Aaron Fox grew up in Texas and attended the University of Kentucky. The Sacramento Kings selected him fifth overall in the 2017 NBA draft as a top prospect.

When Recee Caldwell was an intern during the 2018 NBA Summer League, she was waiting at a hotel in Las Vegas. De’Aaron Fox happened to pass by and caught her eye, but neither spoke at that time.

Caldwell knew who he was, but Fox didn’t recognize the fellow Texas basketball star, who is two years his senior. Nonetheless, Caldwell took a chance sliding into his DMs to question whether he recognized her. After returning to California, they ended up texting for hours and continued to FaceTime.

The communication progressed to visits while she attended Berkeley, and Fox played in Sacramento. And after a year of being friends, they were officially dating.
