Indiana basketball is looking to add to its front court and a new name has emerged on the radar in Bellarmine big Langdon Hatton.
According to 247Sports national analyst Travis Branham, Indiana, Clemson, Minnesota, Ohio State and Louisville are some of the programs who have reached out. Hatton is originally from Georgetown, Indiana.
Hatton is a 6-foot-10 center who averaged 10.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 31 games last year.
He shot 33.3 percent from three (15-of-45) last year. In his career, he’s 18-of-55 on 3s. He has the ability to be effective in pick and pop scenarios as he had a 66 percent effective field goal rate on catch and shoot 3s, ranked in the 95th percentile last year.
While Hatton can step out and hit 3s, that’s nowhere near the strength of his game. 69 percent of his field goal attempts a season ago were at the rim, where he shot 55 percent.
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.
He had 20 games with 10+ points.
In 2022, Hatton averaged 3.5 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in his first season with Bellarmine.
Hatton started his career at William & Mary where he played one season in 2021. He averaged 4.4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in 14.8 minutes per game.
Hatton has one year of eligibility remaining.
Indiana basketball currently has two available scholarships left for the 2024-25 season.
