Arriving in Rogers Park at the beginning of the summer, redshirt junior guard Jalon Pipkins is quickly transitioning to life at Loyola — and figures to be a major contributor for the men’s basketball team in 2019-20.
A junior college transfer, Pipkins, or “Pip” as the team calls him, joins the Ramblers after a single season as an impact player at Paris Community College in Paris, Texas. He showcased his athleticism at Loyola’s final summer practice of 2019 as he threw down multiple rim-rattling dunks and soared high above his teammates to grab both offensive and defensive rebounds.
