The Hall of Fame reception and meet-and-greet will be held Friday, October 31 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the UL Alumni Center. The inductees will be officially inducted during halftime of the football game on Saturday, November 1. Prior to the game, an autograph session will be held in the Alumni tent. Michael Allen (Basketball) – A three-year member and a two-time letterman of the USL basketball team from 1991-1994, Allen was named first-team All-Sun Belt Conference in 1993 and 1994. In 1994, he became the first Cajun player to be named the Sun Belt Player of the Year. Allen still ranks atop many of the schools individual and season records, including eighth in school history for most points scored in a career – 1,673 points in only three seasons. Allen played professionally and then continued sharing his passion as a high school basketball coach for many years, including four at his alma mater. Allen received his degree from USL in 1996, and is currently living in Lexington, Ky., where he works as a Youth Service Center Coordinator for the Fayette County Public School System. The purpose of the UL Lafayette Hall of Fame is to give recognition to those athletes who have made a significant contribution to the good name of the University by demonstrating exceptional ability and sportsmanship on the playing fields, commendable scholarship in the classroom, high quality leadership on the campus, and who after leaving the University have established a personal reputation for character and citizenship in the community which they reside. "Our goal is to remind each new generation of athletes of the tradition they must uphold and the ideals that they should strive for while they are wearing the UL Lafayette uniforms," said Ragin’ Cajuns Lettermen Club President Tom Carroll (UL Baseball ’71-’74). The Ragin’ Cajuns Lettermen Club Alumni Chapter is comprised of men and women who lettered in athletics while they were students at SLI/USL/UL Lafayette. The Ragin’ Cajuns Lettermen Club is a constituent chapter of the UL Lafayette Alumni Association and it retains close ties to the Athletic Department.
