Two notes: 1. At his age, we should encourage Old Fart for remembering something he did last week. 2. The picture above isn't Old Fart....it's his son.

Hatton family in Bloomington!

Trust me, the Bellarmine campus schedule didn’t dictate when the Hatton family was getting to Bloomington. Langdon was ready to run to IU when Woodson called. This kid wants to be a Hoosier!

I love to hear when recruits want to be at IU. He will represent the university well.

I’d give #13 to the hardest working Sr walk on as a big thanks!

Many many thanks to @hohohoosiers311 for keeping the board up to date on this recruitment and giving us just a little bit of scoop from a position of knowledge!! IMO Langdon Hatton is a fantastic addition—geared toward what we need and a realistic get that can fill a role and make an impact! GO HOOSIERS AND CONGRATS LANGDON!!

Good, he just committed

Would never do that! We are just grateful people have been so supportive!

Stop raining on my parade.

Let’s get that off-season second 5 banner ready to hoist up in the rafters at AH

Ho Ho Ho Hoosiers imo

God is good! Let’s gooooooo!!!!

Let’s go!!!!!!!!!

Just listened to an interview with Gottlieb. Not the ****** that many make him out to be. As far as coaching experience....he was a consultant to the Oklahoma State program this past year. Got to sit in on player meetings, planning meetings, and got to learn how to run a program. Also has coached multiple AAU teams--not necessarily a glowing resume, but has some experience. He understands his shortcomings. Because he is coaching at a lower level, he negotiated the time to be able to continue his nationally syndicated radio show every day. Due to this, he asked for much less money from UWGB so he could go out and hire and pay staff not normally seen in this level of a program. He is going to surround himself with people who can help him learn what he doesn't know. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Gottlieb fan. Not to the level of Dakich dislike, but closer to that than anything else. However, he did come across as being humble and willing to learn as he goes. Willing to spread the wealth to bring in qualified help. In a day of greed and me first, it's refreshing to hear this from a guy. Maybe, like all of us, he has matured and grown from the guy who stole credit cards 20+ years ago.

He would also be freaking awesome to watch take a haymaker to the pie hole as he's talking trash while backing up. But maybe that's just me.

Where’s the throw up emoji when you need it lol

Without getting to far ahead of things, all of the portal additions seem to have improved our team top to bottom. Not many glaring weaknesses. Could be a very good year.

How bout cha Georgetown, IN? Hell yeah! Dreams comin true!

Clarksville here we come baby!

Might be able to pick up a Red Lobster, dirt cheap

If I'm a UW-Green Bay fan, I give a hearty thumbs down on Gottleib continuing the radio show. If you're not 100% in on coaching, I have 0% interest.

Pay the man! -- Hatton, not you Old Fart :)

Be careful you don't hurt your shoulder patting yourself on the back so hard. ;p

Nailed it! https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/bellarmine-transfer-langdon-hatton-at-indiana-for-a-visit/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR06BztPTlLtiQ-sVoynvfR6MUAhG9D_BooPY_FbdNBqGCph22mjrN7emjI_aem_AalbMTEyJOaL1Z-zh8w2cc0k-fPMHnMZnY9WtmP4m0ZFupahBHRcEOQ9RfRMfeDbtDgGvfKqmYCpZIXiBgV0z33A

And? I don't think those guys are signing to play for Archie. If you think otherwise, that's fine. Everyone does understand the amount we JUST spent in NIL is a VERY good thing, regardless if Woodson EFFs it up this year. Right? We get that? That has to be sooo attractive for coaching prospects.

That is…….not his angle.

The fit certainly makes sense for the team and I know he’ll rep the school incredibly well. Welcome aboard, Langdon. Time to get to work.

Adding another homegrown Hoosier to the roster!!!!!!!

More than a decent chance. Sweep and we are just in a great spot. Starts with Game 1, though, right!? D1Baseball has us as one of their first 4 out, Ole Miss got beat last night, etc, etc. Just do our jobs this weekend!

No

you know it brother

That's a huge pickup. 2 A finals at the NCAAs and with a bit of improvement in the 3rd event could score in that. Also helps the medley relays in either back or fly. Plus, she has 3 years of eligibility left. Huge.

He also head coached Team USA to a gold medal in the 2017 Maccabi games (18+ division). That team was largely made up of small conference D1 players.

Woo hoo!!! I never would have thought I would be this excited for a role player position but this position is very important to the possible success and security of this team. I hope they offer him loads of cash!!!

And for that we've gotten the best portal haul in the conference.

In the off- season I think we have now had an incredibly deep team approximately 6 of the last 7 off-seasons. Sure looks good on paper but……….

It's not just lip service, folks.

Reminds of Knight answering basic interview questions. You must have hated Knight Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Rooting for the kid! We’ve got backup size. Just like Ware last season, we need Ballo to have a healthy season.

Just committed

Former Michigan signee Khani Rooths has committed to Louisville.

Carnac the Magnificient...Thank you for your divining our future. Now should I invest in cryptocurrency or get a Subway franchise in Floyds Knob?

Just find different donors.

I think that's pretty much where expectations will be.

Still a "yay" if he underperforms with that team but does well enough to keep his job to keep underperforming? That's more likely than him improving as a coach.

We’re paying top 15-20 coaching money while getting top 40-50 results the last 3 years. Underperform and get overpaid, seems like the IU way

Lol… I remember going to a local alumni event when he was first hired and he was making the rounds. I took my father who knows a little something about sales having done it for several decades at a F400 company. Afterwards I remember my dad saying, “I have no idea if he can coach basketball but he has a future in sales if he wants it.” I throw Crean in with Davis: maddening when they’re the coach which makes them hard to like in the moment. But as more time passes I can’t help but sort of like them as people. It’s not a sin to take on a job bigger than you and come up a little short. Crean specifically seems like he still supports the program to a degree.
