Azel Prather, Jr Featured in ECC Men’s Basketball Insider Blog

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (Jan. 31, 2012) - Stefan Bonneau. Nigel Munson. John Petrucelli. Khalil McDonald. Justin Brown. Josh Malone. The names are splashed across the East Coast Conference stat pages, and are highlighted with red marker on every coach’s scouting report. And with good reason, for they are talented leaders capable of taking over a ballgame.

But what about the other guys that no one really identified back in November? Who are the impact players that flew under the radar prior to the season? We asked each of the nine coaches in the conference to single out their unsung heroes… their pleasant surprises to whom attention must now be paid.

From Chris Granozio's Blog:
"However, with [Dominic] Scurry already having established himself as one of the better returning players in the conference, [Sal] Lagano selected junior transfer Azel Prather, Jr. as his “sudden impact” performer this year. The native of Glenarden, Maryland was an elite rebounder during his stint at Prince George Community College in his home state and has continued to blossom in Old Westbury. The left-handed forward is the ECC’s third most accurate shooter and #2 rebounder… evidence that he has transitioned to a higher level of basketball with little problem."
