Husky Talk- Wilbur Gilliard

from Cully Hosted by Steve Cully

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. We are winning because of the hard work of Mike Burton and his team raising money for Bleeding Blue For Good, our NIL collective, along with Storrs Central. We have to step up and donate because every dollar counts, plus you can see the difference in our talent level. Winning the most games in September in over a decade and halfway towards qualifying for a bowl, we need alumni support now. Winning cures all, we will continue to bring in better players and have a chance to join a Power 5 conference. Please go to www.bleedingblueforgood.org and donate to football for a tax write off. Green Street Trust International is our newest sponsor and we are excited to have them on board. Ronel Jumpp and his team specialize in alternative investments, along with asset management through strategic tax planning.
