Langdon on his commitment to Butler

Colt Langdon went in-depth on his decision to choose Butler.

“I chose Butler because it felt like home and was the best fit for me,” Langdon said. “The relationship I have with the whole coaching staff is amazing and the basketball culture is second to none.”

A couple of things contributed to Langdon trusting head coach Thad Matta in his decision.

“I would just say the constant contact and what he has accomplished over the years. He’s one of the most legendary coaches around and really believes in me.”

In his own words, what type of player is Butler getting in Colt Langdon?

“I would say I’m very versatile. I can do a little bit of everything on the court and am going to bring energy and effort every play. I’ll do whatever it takes to win!”

He has a message for Bulldog fans.

“Let’s win some championships! I want to be a part of getting Butler hoops back to the Final Four. Can’t wait to play in Hinkle!”

Scouting Report

“Colt Langdon is a gritty, grind-it-out-type of player. They type that you just expect to find a way to make it work. He has a natural feel for the game with smooth touch and deep range. The 6-foot-6 wing can extend it out from behind the arc and is comfortable stepping into his shot or shooting off the catch. Would like to see him continue diversifying his handle and the foot speed will come into question if he is asked to guard on an island. Langdon has no problem with physicality as he will make plays in traffic and around the rim. He moves the ball well and has natural feel for the play in front of him. A good team defender and he will compete on the boards. The shot-making will be his early ticket as he continues to advance levels. Langdon’s dad played on the offensive line at Virginia.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
