LARAMIE For roughly 11 minutes of
Garrett Crall s Zoom call with the media Tuesday, it was all fun and games. He talked about being healthy for the first time in years, the talent littering this Wyoming roster and high expectations in Laramie this fall.

Lockport native Bobby Gikas earned an Evans Scholarship for the class of 2017 and parlayed it into some recent fame at the University of Illinois.
He is the Illiniâs menâs basketball manager, a usually obscure position.Â
Because of COVID-19 concerns, the nationally ranked Illini are playing in near empty arenas with no bands or cheerleaders. So, Gikas provides some of the noise. He jumps around yelling encouragement to players and holds up signs. And he is getting noticed.
âHaving Bobby bring that juice, I think thatâs very important,â freshman player Andre Cubelo told the Champaign News-Gazette. âI love Bobby.â
