Ta’Niya Latson Officially Commits to Indiana Hoosiers WBB Under Teri Moren
In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the landscape of women’s college basketball, Ta’Niya Latson has officially committed to the Indiana Hoosiers, pledging her elite talents to head coach Teri Moren and the Big Ten0o powerhouse.
Latson, the 5-foot-8 scoring phenom out of Florida State, entered the transfer portal as one of the most coveted players in the country. Averaging 21.3 points per game in her sophomore season, with an uncanny ability to score from anywhere on the court, Latson quickly became a target for elite programs coast-to-coast. But it was the culture, consistency, and vision of Moren’s Hoosiers that ultimately won her heart.
“I wanted to be somewhere where the expectations matched my ambition,” Latson said during her commitment announcement at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. “Coach Moren builds winners. She’s a leader who holds her players accountable, and I want to be pushed to greatness.”
Teri Moren, entering her 11th season at the helm of the Hoosiers, has steadily built Indiana into one of the premier programs in the nation. With a culture of discipline, team-first basketball, and tenacious defense, Moren’s squads have made deep NCAA Tournament runs in recent years, but have lacked that one transcendent scorer who can take over in crunch time.
Enter Latson.
“She’s a game-changer,” Moren said bluntly. “Ta’Niya brings not just talent, but a mindset—one of toughness, excellence, and relentless pursuit. She wants to win championships, and we want to win them with her.”
Latson’s arrival signals a seismic shift in Indiana’s offensive identity. Known for their methodical half-court sets and defensive grit, the Hoosiers now add a lightning-fast guard who thrives in transition, reads defenses with surgical precision, and finishes through contact like a veteran pro. Her presence is expected to open up the floor for returning stars such as Mackenzie Holmes and Sydney Parrish, creating a multidimensional threat that opponents will struggle to contain.
Recruiting insiders are already calling the commitment one of the most impactful transfers of the offseason. Latson’s Instagram post, featuring a crimson jersey and the caption “#GoHoosiers,” garnered over 100,000 likes within hours.
Her decision also highlights the growing pull of the Big Ten in the national women’s basketball scene. With powerhouse programs like Iowa, Ohio State, and Maryland constantly in the spotlight, Indiana has now made it clear—they’re not just here to compete. They’re here to dominate.
“Legacy is important to me,” Latson added. “I want to look back and know I helped bring a national championship to Bloomington. That’s the dream. That’s the mission.”
For Hoosiers fans, that mission just got a lot more real.
