WOODSON ON HATTON

“Langdon is a skilled and adaptable big man who will contribute to our frontcourt depth.” His large frame allows him to play in the post, go after the glass, and step out to block a shot. We are thrilled to welcome him back to the Hoosier state because he is an Indiana boy who plays the right way.
