More info coming in via PM:

  • Played at Anderson as a freshman and then transferred to Milford (who does not have a very strong program).
  • Transferred back this year...effort level was not their initially but then the light clicked on and he became a force.
  • Literally flew under the radar until about halfway through this year...and now has coaches requesting tape.
  • Surprisingly fast for his size with great athleticism (returns kicks/runs reverses/etc.)...skinny at 6'7" but has the frame to add weight. Best comparison so far is Chris Henry (on the field...not off).
  • Still thinking about basketball but that could change after his state championship performance and once the calls start coming for football.

Sounds so much like Chichester it is crazy...

If there is room I have no problem bringing him in...A 6'7'' WR can present so much threat to a defense it would make the defensive cordinator's head spin...

Put 6'5'' on the other side and then it is just crazy for the defense to try and match up...

Just think about boubacar cissoko and Bradon Harrison trying to match up with them two...That is anywhere from 7-10 inches in advantage, that would just be unfair...

Truesdell had a great night in the state finals. The impressive part of his night occured in the first quarter when he caught "jump balls" against Louisville's best athlete Brandon Mathie. Mathie a junior is no slouch, he set a DII record for most catches in a state playoff game with 11 and most touchdown receptions with 3 in the game with Anderson.

When I think of Truesdell, I can't help myself from thinking of...

I sat next to the brother of the Anderson head coach at the state game, and talked to him for a bit. According to him, Nick has just come on toward the end of the season. He seemed to be a bit soft toward the beginning, and there was some concern, but has gotten over that. That kickoff return was insane. He has speed, but with the size, he basically just ran over half the coverage team. Was hoping the Bucks took notice :)

Hmmm, so I was thinking about this goal line set, or on a critical 3rd/4th down: Stoneburner (6'6"), Truesdell (6'7") and Dion Sims (6'5") for 2009. It would seem these guys would need to be attended to by a couple defenders simply becuase of their height, leaving Posey (6'2-3" and who probably will also attract doubleteams soon enough) out wide as well and Saine/Flash out of the backfield... leaving plenty of running lanes for Pryor.

OMG... :yow1:... we could be SERIOUSLY disgustingly good on offense when these guys get through the system.
