Florida guard Orien Greene said Friday he will transfer to another school next season. Greene, a sophomore from Gainesville, started 30 of 31 games last season, averaging 5.2 points and 2.8 rebounds. Considered a top recruit, Greene was largely a disappointment in his two seasons with the Gators. He struggled in the classroom, although coach Billy Donovan said he had gotten better through his sophomore year. But the coach was never enamored with Greene's play or attitude. "I've enjoyed my experience here at the University of Florida," Greene said. "I grew up in Gainesville and I've always had a dream of playing for the Gators. I will miss my teammates and the coaching staff and I appreciate everything Coach Donovan and the staff have done for me."
