“DJ has the unique ability to fit in with everyone. He has great people skills, but in all honesty, he is under-appreciated as a ‘basketball mind.’ He is very good being my right-hand man on the bench in game situations. Will be an excellent head coach someday soon.”

Our Team was fortunate to have Jerry speak to us this summer about so many things he’s experienced as a leader both on the court & off.
A true pioneer in so many different ways. Our University, Athletics Department & Basketball Program will miss him dearly.
RIP 🙏🏽❤️
The entire #Loyola community mourns the passing of 1963 team captain Jerry Harkness. The impact he had on the #Rambler program, the game of basketball and the world is immeasurable and won't be forgotten. RIP, Jerry. 💔🙏

I’ve been seeing some discussion about how Loyola has no beatwriters and I just wanted to remind y’all:
33 games this season. @lumcalzada @fer8molina and I covered every single one, not to mention the 30+ stories I wrote on the beat. Student journalists are real journalists!! 🙂
