Great article about a great guy. The only frustrating thing is that TU receives so much ink when they were a no-show in the process. This is an ORU and Memorial guy - no need to even mention that other school at the opposite end of Lewis.

TheEagleman has met Larry Owens (very gracious sitting behind me at a game at Stillwater) but have never had the pleasure of meeting Caleb. However, here's a story that says a lot about the guy....prior to my wife getting ill she managed a very busy Italian restaurant near our home in Bucks County, PA.....about 7-8 years ago I was sitting at the bar one night having a cold drink when she came up and introduced me to a co-worker/friend and her son who had come in for dinner.....the son was very tall maybe 6-9 and mid 20's...I asked him if he ever played ball and he proceeded to tell me that he had played for the D-III Holy Family U. team that went to the national finals a couple years prior....he said that he now played professionally in Europe for a team in Belgium....so I asked him if he knew Caleb Green and his eyes lit up....he said that Caleb was his teammate the prior season .....he then asked how I knew him and I said that I was an ORU alum and Caleb had played there and was one of the greatest players every to put on the blue and gold.....so this kid proceeds to tell me that Caleb is a fine representative of ORU and one of the nicest guys he has ever played with and a very good Christian man.....that was unsolicited and says something about Caleb Green....
