Jeremiah Rivers (2006-2008)
The son of former Boston Celtics coach Glenn Rivers, Jeremiah Rivers had played two seasons as a reserve guard behind Jonathan Wallace and had been widely expected to carry the defensive mantle of the team in 2008-09 before he announced his transfer at the end of his sophomore season.
The Winter Park, FL guard appeared in 34 games as a freshman, primarily on defense, averaging 1.3 points. As a sophomore, Rivers averaged just 2.5 points, but came up big in a number of late game defensive stands, none more so than his late game defensive stops against Villanova and Marquette in key wins in 2007-08.
Transferring to Indiana, Rivers started in 47 games over two seasons finishing among the Big Ten leaders in assists. He averaged 4.9 points and 3.7 rebounds in 63 games overall.
