Greene case still on hold
LOUISIANA La. — Transfer guard Orien Greene did not accompany UL Lafayette to Colorado for today’s Sun Belt Conference opener at Denver, which means the earliest he could join the Ragin’ Cajuns would be next Thursday’s SBC home opener against South Alabama.
Greene has remained a part of the squad while taking a correspondence course to regain academic eligibility after earning a 1.8 grade point average in the fall semester.
If work in that course is successfully completed, Greene could take the court for the Cajuns.
“I’m not aware of any news on that front,” UL Athletic Director Nelson Schexnayder said. “As I understand it, he has until the beginning of class on Monday (the start of the spring semester) to get the paperwork done.
“It might be Saturday, if he can get it in to their people. As soon as we can verify that he completed the course requirements, we can begin to do what needs to be done on our part.”
Greene is enrolled for the spring semester, aiming to join the Cajuns, and is expected to be in class next week while he awaits word on the correspondence course.
“I’ll tell you what,” Evans said. “If it does happen, we go from a BMW to a Maserati.”
