Freeman was an instrumental part of the Huskies winning the national championship in 2014. Coach Dan Hurley brought Kevin back in 2020 after he spent a few years on the staff at Penn State.

He visited UConn and committed to Coach Calhoun. His freshman class in 1996 that had a tremendous amount of talent. Coach Calhoun developed Kevin's group, they built more toughness, mentally and physically. Kevin said losing to North Carolina in the 1998 NCAA tournament was devastating. But Coach Calhoun came in the locker room and proclaimed that next year they would go to the Final 4. Having a truly magical season, the 1998-1999 team lived up to expectations, and Kevin was a force, along with having strong leadership, which led UConn to their first Men's Basketball NCAA Championship.

A Husky Talk that I have been looking forward to for months, one of my favorite players to watch, RB Andre Dixon. He played at a top high school in New Jersey at New Brunswick where he said football and the organization saved his life. After school, study hall was mandatory for all players, the weightlifting and finishing with practice. His team was loaded with Division 1 players, and after Andre dominated at UConn Football's camp, he committed to Randy Edsall. Redshirting as a Freshman, he rushed for 828 yards as a sophomore averaging 5 yards a carry while splitting time with eventual 1st round pick Donald Brown. He posted his best numbers his senior year when he and Jordan Todman both rushed for over 1000 yards in a single season. He averaged 4.6 Yards a carry and led the team with 15 Touchdowns. Andre was named player of the game in the 2010 Papa Johns bowl running for 126 yards and a TD. My favorite memory of Andre Dixon was watching him carve up Notre Dame's defense in 2009. He ran hard, he ran angry, through defenders, around defenders, over defenders for 120 yards on 14 carries, scoring the game winning TD in double overtime to shockingly upset Notre Dame at home. Andre bounced around playing professionally, starting as an undrafted free agent with the NY Giants. He spent time in the UFL and CFL before moving back to Connecticut and starting his own business Dynamic Human Performance in Hartford, CT. He has a great team with him to work with athletes interested in all sports. Andre also works with adults, anyone who wants to improve their fitness, he will take them on. https://dynamichumanperformance.com is the website and he has 5,000 square feet to make incredible gains.

All new Husky Talk with Julius Trenches , AKA Julius Williams, a former UConn Football versatile Defensive forces who was an outstanding pass rusher. Coming all the way from Georgia, his story is one of dedication, perseverance, and desire. Excited we connected and I was mesmerized listening to his story. From a family of 5 kids, Julias played on season as a youngster before being thrown to the wolves as a varsity player in 8th grade. He played at one of the smaller schools in Decatur, Georgia and was playing both ways early on. He saw action as a Tight End, Linebacker, before dominating as a Defensive End his senior year. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL and missed significant playing time but performed well at camps he attended the summer going into his senior season. Julius was being recruited by schools in the SEC and ACC before his ACL injury, he remembered coach Vinny Marino always called, never stopped recruiting him. On his visit in January, he met with coach Randy Edsall and committed to be a Husky. Hear is story as he started out as a Middle Linebacker, played as a freshmen and credits coach Todd Orlando, Alfred Fincher for teaching him the game on another level. After another ACL injury his sophomore year, he redshirted. Julius told me he watched more film on my good friend Uyi Osunde, which helped him become a dynamic force as a pass rusher. Logging 15 sacks, he could dominate offensive tackles in pass protection. Also, one a share of our first Big East Championship, played in the Meinke Car Care Bowl, Papa Johns Bowl, and left victorious defeating Buffalo in the International Bowl in Toronto. He played professionally for many years in the NFL, CFL, UFL, and AFL before being ready for the next chapter of his life. He started Trench Mob which runs camps all over the country, working with offensive defensive linemen.

A special Husky Talk with Joe Villipiano and Jeff Larson, two former walk-on UConn Football Players join the show to discuss the NCAA moving to 105 scholarships. Which will also be the roster limit, meaning that if teams are able to fully fund 105 scholarships, it will mean the end of having walk-on players on the roster. Joe and Jeff were incredible people, worked just as hard, if not harder than our scholarship players, with the same expectations of being on time for meetings, watching film, traveling to games and performing when their number was called. Jeffery did this while serving out country as well, which is even more impressive. We talk about NIL's, the transfer portal, and locker rooms missing out on great teammates if walk-on opportunities are taken away Procyon Partners is our longest tenured sponsor.

A Husky Talk that is worth its weight in GOLD, former All Big East Linebacker Moe Lloyd, who won a Grey Cup in his 5 seasons in the CFL, comes on the show. We have tried to connect several times, but Moe has an extremely busy schedule. Between coaching a state Championship team in Florida as a Co-Defensive Coordinator, being a sales specialist at a car dealership, and now getting into Real Estate after becoming licensed. His career on the field was spectacular, however I am more impressed with what he has done off it. Coaching, mentoring, helping kids from his time in Connecticut to now being in Florida. Truly an incredible person, I am so proud of him for all he has accomplished. Having 4 kids and being a great father. This was a special interview and when you hear his journey, you will understand why. Love you Moe! Procyon Partners is our biggest, longest tenured sponsor of Husky Talk.

Husky Talk returns with former UConn Quarterback David Pindell. He shares a wild journey with us and was an absolute pleasure to interview. David never played youth football and started in 9th grade at a small school in Maryland that was not the best program. Not only beginning a new sport, but he was also placed at the most difficult position on the field at QB. In the offseason, he worked with his coach on watching film, along with mechanics necessary for QBs to have success. David has a tremendous work ethic and by his senior year, he led his team to an undefeated season, playing outstanding. He was a duel threat QB, able to run and had a strong arm to make any throw. Being recruited late, he ended up at Lackawanna, which is one of the best junior colleges in the country. He tore it up and did very well for them. Coach Randy Edsall recruited him when he was still at Maryland, when he took the UConn job in 2017, he signed David to go with him. As a Husky, David had a great senior year, throwing for nearly 2000 yards, 20 TD passes, along with 1,142 yards rushing with 10 TDs, he did it all. David went undrafted but attended minicamps as a Wide Receiver, Running Back, Kick/Punt Returner and did not make a roster. He made his way up north to the CFL with the Montreal as a QB, which is where he wanted to stay. COVID happened, the CFL did not play and David was putting his highlight films all over social media. Calls came in from Japan, where American Football has grown in popularity and there are a few leagues. After working out, receiving several offers, David signed and has been their ever since. I believe he will receive another opportunity to play QB in the NFL, he is too dynamic of a player and deserves another shot. Procyon Partners is our biggest, longest tenured sponsor of Husky Talk.

A polarizing episode of Husky Talk with a truly special UConn Track alumni, Dr. Trisha Bailey. She is an inspiration to all of us, who turned a small medical supplies business into a juggernaut that operates through 7 states. Her net worth is astounding, Dr. Bailey is a successful entrepreneur, performed extremely well working on Wall Street, her memoir is a very emotional read titled: Unbroken "The Triumphant Story Of A Womans Journey." This show was produced by Kelly Greene, who is a LMHC and did a spectacular job helping me prepare to interview Dr. Bailey. Her research and input was instrumental, I am grateful, as well as thank her for being there for me. Dr. Baily grew up in Jamica, her grandmother had an incredible impact on her life from an early age. I saw her face glowing as she told the story of her grandmother walking several miles just to make sure the family had food to feed not only them, but the everyone in that area. Afterwards, Dr. Bailey's grandmother would drink broth or whatever was left because she made sure nobody went unfed. I am not going to begin to try to share Dr. Bailey's journey. You can listen to her journey from moving to the United States at age 13, attending Weaver High in Hartford before coming to UConn on a track scholarship. Life after graduation, she started out working in different careers, while overcoming obstacles, adversity, and trauma. Dr. Bailey started her first business in 2011 which distributed medical supplies to Medicare patients. She stressed being kind to people always, giving back and not needing to be a millionaire to do so. Dr. Bailey is spiritual and believes we can all help by donating money or our time to those in need. A true philanthropist, who donates to UConn, along with many other charities, she is an amazing person, and I thank her for sitting down for Husky Talk!

The best sports show in Worcester, MA is back on 97.9 FM Unity Radio, executive producer Ernie Floyd, Moneyline. Featuring Dave Schuman, the Voice of REASON Frank Cristiano, and hosted by Steve Cully. We talk about the week in sports, we cover the NFL and College Football. Dave talks about the QB play in the NFL, especially the rookie quarterbacks, being mediocre overall. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are on a different level than the rest of the league. Frank mentions Caleb Williams with the Bears and how well he has been playing. The weapons his team has surrounded him with and someone like Carolina never gave QB Bryce Young any weapons. Dave and I mention how if a team can play in 2 tight end sets or use a fullback, they will gash NFL teams running the ball because they don't have the personnel to match up. We go over the plight of the Cowboys and dominance of the entire NFC North Division. Forty Second Brewrey is a proud sponsor of Moneyline. Steve Darby is a friend and owner, they are located in Kingston, MA. With a variety of pilsners, IPAs, and Lagers, they also have a beautiful tasting room.

Geremy Davis is our guest on Husky Talk. A dynamic, talented, big Wide Receiver for UConn and playmaker. A pleasure to interview him, just an awesome dude.

A weekend at UConn with the beautiful girl in my life that I may, or may not be seeing, Kelly Greene on Husky Talk. We did not have my podcast equipment and recorded over the phone. Kelly has been a true blessing to me and has always been there. I am not easy to deal with and she hasn't given up on me yet. I can only hope to continue trying to become a better person so I will be able to definitively say she IS the girl I am SEEING! Procyon Partners is our, longest tenured sponsor of Husky Talk. They are one of the top 50 fastest growing companies in the nation. President Sean Rabinowitz is a great friend and advisor to me. Kelly shares the story of our trip from start to finish. I don't want to give anything away, but it is a great listen. She wanted to thank Courtney Williams for driving us, and helping, as I was not prepared to tailgate. I didn't want to pack a cooler and figured how hard could it be to pick up some food before the game near the stadium? A big miscalculation on my part. Then she met a host of people, starting with the ageless beauty Beverly Sims, far from being 80 years young. Tyler King was next and he could have a reality TV show. Terry McClowry and his family came. His wife Margot gave baby Callan for Kelly to hold, and she loved every second. Meeting Uyi for the first time was exciting and baby Jerimyah. Of course, Dan Hernandez was able to share stories from our time living on the same floor at the dorm in Hilltop. Mike Burton, CJ Hessel and their families were the best, everyone was kind, welcoming, happy to see us. Kelly had a blast with CJ's daughters, showing them pictures of our dogs, drawing signs together. Halftime, we went to see Terry and Kelly was greeted by Jerimyah again in a funny story. Loved seeing Chris Bellamy with his family, he has wonderful daughters. Phil Hunt was a favorite of Kelly's, they got to talk and she was appreciative he took time to check on us, making sure we didn't need anything. She could not say more good things about Phil. Chris Stasaitis was also at the top of the list. Being able to see him at the game, he drove after a long day of work. We were wiped after and went back to our hotel. Thankfully Kelly saw Chris Sunday and I was able to show her UConn's campus, the places I lived. Kelly is caring, selfless, she came with me to make sure I wasn't nervous. I wanted her there to meet the guys and have the experience of a lifetime. She loved meeting my friends finally, especially seeing the children, I can't thank Mike Burton, Tiffany Dexter Burton, for having us as their guests and a memory we will share forever. UConn Football is becoming bowl eligible. Bleeding Blue For Good, Mike and his team have been raising money for our NIL collective. We have to step up and donate. We need more of us to be involved.

Procyon Partners is our biggest, longest tenured sponsor of Husky Talk. They specialize in wealth management, employee benefits, and retirement planning. President Sean Rabinowitz is a great friend and consultant. Husky Huddle along with Husky Talk has grown to become the best coverage for UConn Football. Husky Talk returns with the power of former UConn Football Defensive Lineman Ron Gamble. A fascinating story from playing a one season of youth football, which turned out to be a nightmare, Ron was a big boy and at 10 years old was playing with 12- to 13-year-old kids who knocked him around. Not a fun experience. Ron played at a smaller school at Maryland and was the starting Running Back while the best athlete on the team played QB. He and his father went to a company with all his game film, where Ron sat for hours picking out his best plays to put together a VHS highlight tape. Very time consuming and hard, they sent out 20 tapes. Ron shares a funny story of a school actually sending his film back with a note. He was offered by the UConn Huskies and Howard University. His official visit to Howard was....well... Ill let him tell you what happened. At UConn, his visit was great, and he committed on the spot to play fullback. As we all know, life tends to throw you lemons, and we know not to make lemonade, we take two oranges and chuck them back at life. Because of injuries, Ron was moved to Defensive End, where he never played before. A steep learning curve, Ron fought through and did his best being on the field as a true Freshmen. However, after that year, Ron became a dominant force on the Defensive Line. Putting on weight, grinding it out lifting, he turned into a beast. From his sophomore year on, Ron kicked ass and took names. He was a senior when I was a freshman and I was terrified to look at him. Ron threw me around like a sack of shit. He had a great career and majored in Communications. Now, he is in law enforcement, working as a school officer and coaches high school football, along with having 4 kids. His 13-year-old is a talent, plays football and Ron will be coaching him. I probably said 5 words to Ron when I was a freshman. Loved talking with him, a very nice and funny dude, we wish him the best. UConn Football is on a roll because Mike Burton and his team have been raising money for Bleeding Blue For Good our NIL collective. We have to step up and donate because every dollar count.

After moving to receiver, he slipped out of more tackles than anyone and had breakaway speed. An intricate part of the 1998 team that was the best in UConn history. Was a pleasure to have on!

After not being recruited for football, Coach Randy Edsall came to watch him play basketball where he dominated. UConn offered him a scholarship and he accepted. Danny and his class were difference makers, playing on one of the top defenses in the country and UConn history. He started at Middle Linebacker, playing sideline to sideline and hit like a train. A two time All Big East selection, Danny prepared for the NFL. From an undrafted free agent to the Green Bay Packers, to not playing for 2 years, getting picked up by the UFL, resurrecting his NFL career with the Jets and Buccaneers. An underdog his entire life, he proved himself each day and had a 9 year NFL career. Now married with a child of his own, Danny coaches high school football and got into real estate. He owns rental properties and flips houses; his wife is a licensed relator.

Procyon Partners is our biggest, longest tenured supporter of Husky Talk. President Sean Rabinowitz has been an amazing friend, consultant, and we have grown to become the best for UConn Football coverage, along with Husky Huddle. Our guest on Husky Talk is one of the best Running Backs in UConn Football's History. Hartford's own Wilbur Gilliard. He was a tough, physical runner, who learned to make people miss from competing against his cousins, kill the carrier. Recruited by several schools, Wilbur stayed in state and committed to UConn under coach Tom Jackson. Redshirting as a freshman, he played in one of the most talented backfields in UConn history with Eddie Long. Even splitting time, Wilbur is still in the record books for yards per carry, single season rushing yards, and touchdowns scored. He was the all-time leading rusher at UConn for many years. After graduation, Wilbur sold cars and cell phones before moving to New York City where he started his own marketing company. A success on many levels, he was honored last week before the Buffalo game for being a team captain. Such a hilarious show, Wilbur is a funny guy, and I definitely look forward to meeting him.

They are a full service Financial firm, President Sean Rabinowitz provides exceptional outcomes for his clients and is a proud sponsor of Husky Talk. Husky Talk finally had one of my favorite guests on, UConn Football Defensive Linemen Ryan Timko. Big Slim as he was called, became a force up front. His story is remarkable because he played Volleyball and baseball primarily before being talked into playing football at Deland high in Florida. He played on a team with several division 1 players and was recruited by coaches coming to watch them, and being impressed with what Ryan was doing on the field. After, he committed to UConn, he had a great career and was a starter. He was part of the foundation that led us into transitioning to a Division 1 program. After, he followed in his father's footsteps and attended optometry school in Boston. Married now with kids, he started his own practice after selling the business he joined on with his dad. Nobody can make you laugh and entertain like Big Slim, Ryan Timko! Michael Burton runs Bleeding Blue for Good and Storrs Central to raise NIL money for UConn.
