Truman is a quiet problem on the court, the big who doesn’t need to say much because his game does all the talking. He brings a smooth, physical style that punishes defenders inside and stretches them out beyond the arc. A true three-level scorer with footwork, touch, and patience, Truman plays with purpose. He can face up and drive, operate in the mid-post, catch and shoot, or own his space on the block. Add in his unselfishness, rebounding presence, and commitment to defending, and you’ve got a forward who impacts every inch of the floor.

This past high school season, Truman averaged 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, showcasing his ability to carry a scoring load while staying active on the glass and creating for others. In UAA action this summer, he continued to produce, averaging 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game, all while competing against top national talent. That consistency earned him major exposure and led to a commitment to powerhouse Moravian Prep, where his development will only accelerate. His growth has been dramatic, transforming from a one-dimensional post to a true multi-tool weapon who can initiate, space the floor, and create for himself or others.

His biggest improvements are his athleticism and shot creation. Truman’s work in the gym has given him the lift, foot speed, and versatility to score from anywhere. And he’s not done, he’s grinding to improve his ball handling and lateral movement, aiming to guard multiple positions and elevate his shot-making off the bounce. He’s already a mismatch nightmare. Now, he’s working to be unguardable.

Truman is a coach’s dream; he communicates, leads, and does whatever is needed. He’s a plug-and-play forward who plays both ends, screens hard, rebounds in traffic, and competes every second he’s on the floor. What drives him is preparation. When people underestimate him, he locks in. When facing adversity, he stays locked in, knowing the game rewards those who work. And when the moment gets big, Truman gets bigger.

The best coaching advice he’s ever received is “Good players do a little work and think they’re great. Great players do a lot of work and don’t think they’re good enough.” That mindset is why he’s on the rise. And it’s why his best basketball is still ahead.

Off the court, he enjoys fishing, reading, and spending time with friends. Grounded, focused, and all business when the lights come on.

I assess that Truman is a physical, high-IQ forward who delivers real production. With his mix of size, shooting, rebounding, and unselfishness, he can fill multiple roles at the college level. His presence inside and out makes him a nightmare matchup.

As he continues to improve his handles and perimeter defense, Truman becomes a complete two-way forward. With production that speaks for itself and work habits that separate him, expect him to rise even higher in the 2027 class. He truly is must-see TV, but still on the rise. Get your popcorn ready for a bigger season ahead. Stay tuned.
