Arthur “Boo Boo” Gaskins joined the Elizabeth City State University men’s basketball team in 1977 and was a standout student-athlete throughout his collegiate career.  After his freshman season performance, he earned CIAA Rookie of the Year.  In 1978, Gaskins averaged 26.1 points per game, ranking him the leading scorer in the CIAA and among the top five in NCAA Division II.  That season he headed the Vikings team in several single-game categories including points (46), field goals (23), and free throws (12).  During the 1979-80 season, the 6-foot-four-inch guard once again tallied team single-game highs including points (40) and free throws (9).  Gaskins earned consecutive honors as CIAA Player of the Year in 1980 and in 1981, when the Vikings marked a 13-6 conference record.
