Casey Prather-SEC Bound 

A great summer, a better July.

Put those equations into the mix and you get major interest from colleges all over the country.

Casey Prather (Jackson Northside) made the most of his opportunities and has ended his substantial recruitment pledging to become a Florida Gator.

A long list of schools was narrowed recently to Florida and Memphis with the final decision pending.

Prather will continue a big tradition of Tennessee hoopsters who have graced the Blue and Orange including Lee Humphrey (Maryville) and Corey Brewer (Portland).

Prather was all over the map in July running with the Nashville Celtics and providing highlight material from Las Vegas to Cincinnati and other destinations in between.

Prather is a special player who will flourish in the Gators up tempo style. His ability to score from the outside or use his exceptional athleticism to finish in transition or off the dribble will serve him well in the ultra-athletic SEC.

With his upcoming senior campaign on the horizon Prather can now concentrate on improving his 24 points and 11 boards per game which helped him finish as a finalist for the coveted Mr. Basketball award last season in Class AA.

Congrats Casey and good luck in your senior season.
