A member of the 1981 inaugural class of the Saint Peter’s University Athletic Hall of Fame, Harry Laurie was known as the man with the “world’s tallest fingers” during his time in Jersey City. Only playing for Saint Peter’s for two seasons, he helped guide the Peacocks to the first two of three consecutive National Invitational Tournament (NIT) berths, including the historic “Run, Baby, Run” 1967-68 Peacocks team that advanced to the NIT semifinals and had a program-best 24 wins.
 
Laurie scored 860 points in his two seasons and was the Peacocks second-leading rebounder during his time. He ranks top-10 on the Peacocks all-time charts in career scoring average (16.7 points per game), career free-throw percentage (.733), and career rebounding average (8.0 rebounds per game). Laurie was named Met Conference MVP, All-East, and All-American Honorable Mention as a senior, and garnered All-Met honors as a junior and senior.
 
In addition to his 1981 Hall of Fame induction, Laurie’s 1967-68 team was inducted into the Saint Peter’s University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015.
