Bellarmine center Langdon Hatton is taking the next step in his relationship with Indiana basketball as he is currently in Bloomington for a visit.
After Indiana received a 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction to land Hatton last week, it had been all quiet until Tuesday night when Hatton announced his arrival at IU on social media.
He is a 6-foot-10, 240-pound big man who averaged 10.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 31 games this past year.

Hatton is a strong rebounder as well, finishing last year with a defensive rebound rate of 21.7 — third best in the A-Sun conference. His 7.1 rebounds per game ranked sixth in the league.
His best performance last season was 27 points, 12 rebounds and four assists against Kennesaw State. He had 14 points and five rebounds at Kansas State, 11 points and nine rebounds at BYU and 10 points and nine rebounds at Utah.
