Tinch! [now at 12.96]

[Atticus]

In the hurdles, he's got that Willie Davenport double arm thing going. Seems to get him back running verrrry quickly.

Looking at Google images, it appears he's a football and basketball star as well. Perhaps Neon 2.0.

He's not on any roster for football since HS but that doesn't mean he won't be. Appears basketball is a 3rd sport.

But I feel The Force weakening in him already.

He was not on the football roster at Pitt State (or Kansas, for that matter).

or for his JC which fields a football team.

He wasn't a 12.97w, 7', 27'w athlete then either!
We can only hope he values his noggin.

He was Big 12 Champion in the hurdles though.

Whatever holes this guy has in his competitive career they are pretty big. I'm not suggesting anything nefarious just that he's bounced around and really hasn't competed since 2019-20.

As to football, he's had opportunities at every stop to play football and he shows up on no roster. So, while I'm sure the "you never know" crowd will continue that push, I'm not sure football is a legit option for this guy assuming he wants it.

I am, however, reminded of the name which rhymes in Sid Finch.

This opinion piece from 2 years ago seems to summarize best: https://stevenltietz.blog/2021/04/21...n-a-high-note/

"I sincerely hope Cordell Tinch takes a deep breath, finds his focus and will be able to call Coffeyville Community College in Kansas home, at least for a time, because the immensely talented former Bay Port product, state champion and record-setter has the potential to be amazing on the national stage.

I, and likely many others, hope that he wants that too.

Because wherever he has gone, he has succeeded, but just not for long enough to leave a truly lasting mark."

The article mentions the 2019 West Preliminary. He qualified to run NCAAs but was a DNS in the semis 2 weeks after the prelims.
