Bellarmine transfer center Langdon Hatton makes call for Indiana basketball and commits to Hoosiers

Indiana basketball has earned another transfer commitment as Bellarmine center Langdon Hatton announced his pledge to the Hoosiers.

Hatton is a 6-foot-10 center who averaged 10.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in 31 games this past season.

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, he’s not going to be a high-volume shooter. 69 percent of his field goal attempts during the 2023-24 season were at the rim.

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.

Hatton played two years at Bellarmine after starting his career at William & Mary where he played one season in 2021.

Hatton has one year of eligibility remaining.

Hatton joins an Indiana basketball transfer class that was already ranked No. 1 in the country. He adds to a class that already had Arizona center Oumar Ballo, Washington State guard Myles Rice, Stanford guard Kanaan Carlyle and Illinois wing Luke Goode.

Indiana basketball now has one available scholarship for the 2024-25 season.
