Southall was in good academic standing at this time last summer when he was charged with parole violation, and reportedly maintains that status entering fall classes.
"I know there are some discussions ongoing between he and Coach Lee," UL President Ray Authement said. "I'd hate to say what those discussions are, because it's a matter of what he'll accept and what Coach Lee will accept.
"He (Lee) and I have discussed the situation, but it's got to be his call and the conditions (for a Southall return) are his. If Michael Southall accedes to those conditions, then he might be here. But it will not be a free ride."
The situation is expected to be further clarified by the end of this week.
