Ron Patterson will transfer from Indiana after failing to meet all of the academic requirements.

Patterson will transfer to a four-year school or a prep school.

“We think very highly of Ron and will continue to work with him as allowed to help him reach his goals,’’ Tom Crean said in the release. “He has the chance to do some special things for himself and his family and we will be supportive of whatever he chooses to do.’’

Patterson was one of Indiana's highly recruited freshmen.
