She's second all-time in assists and ninth in steals.
A native of McConnells, S.C., Latta earned a long list of honors highlighted by two consensus All-America selections and National Player of the Year honors in 2006.
Latta was selected 11th overall in the 2007 WNBA Draft by the Detroit Shock and went on to a 12-year career in the league. In addition to the Detroit, she played in Atlanta and Tulsa before spending five years with the Washington Mystics, earning All-Star Game selection in 2013 and 2014.
Also announced as future members of the Hall of Fame were University of South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore, Clemson University golfer Lucas Glover,
NBA standout and coach Clifford Ray, Coastal Carolina quarterback Tyler Thigpen, S.C.
