According to Joe Tipton at On3, former four-star recruit Dominick Harris announced his commitment to Loyola Chicago.
This will be Harris' fourth stop, having previously played for Gonzaga, LMU and UCLA.
Harris originally committed to play for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs, rated as a four-star recruit while being ranked as the No. 10 combo guard and the No. 74 overall player in the nation, per 247Sports.
Last season with the UCLA Bruins, Harris posted 1.1 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. Harris played just 7.3 minutes per game in his first season at UCLA.
Before that, Harris played one season at LMU, where he averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.

Harris will now play for Drew Valentine at Loyola Chicago, one of the most underrated college basketball programs in the country.
The Ramblers finished its most recent season with 25-12 record.
Since taking over as the head coach at Loyola Chicago in 2021, Valentine has led the Ramblers to an MVC Tournament title in 2022 and the Atlantic 10 regular season title in 2024.
The former four-star will now have another chance to flourish under Drew Valentine and his staff at Loyola Chicago.
