Greene, who hails from Gilroy, California, brings a wealth of experience to the table. The 6-2, 190-pound guard has played for two Division I schools, most recently Houston Christian, where he led the Huskies in total points and averaged 15.1 points per game. His impressive junior campaign saw him shoot 45 percent from the floor, 43 percent on threes, and 79 percent from the line.
“We are extremely excited to add Marcus to the program,” said Coach Eran Ganot. “He is a tremendous talent who possesses the ability to shoot the three and attack the paint to create opportunities for both himself and his teammates.”
Greene’s journey to UH is an interesting one. He started his collegiate career at Sacramento State, playing in 19 games as a true freshman. He then spent a season in junior college, earning second-team All-Region XIV honors for Panola College in Carthage, Texas. Greene helped lead Panola to one of the best seasons in school history, as the Ponies went 28-5 overall and finished No. 10 in the final 2023 NJCAA Division I national rankings.

As a native of Gilroy, California, Greene was an all-conference, all-area, and all-section player at Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose. He also played for Scotland Campus Prep in Pennsylvania.
Greene is the second player to sign with UH this spring, joining former Utah Tech and Idaho center Tanner Christensen. High school standouts A.J. Economou and Aaron Hunkin-Claytor signed with UH during the early period last fall.
With Greene on board, the Rainbow Warriors are looking to make a big impact in the 2024-25 season. Will they be able to capitalize on their new talent and make a deep run in the tournament? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure - the future is bright for UH men’s basketball.
