Mentored kenny, maybe best h.s. player to play in CT. he used to run a 4.35/40 dieon sanders fast.
lacked the work ethic, and thats that! roomates with shonn green/ shady mccoy to NFL starters.
all 3 players roomed at MILFORD ACADEMY. green/ iowa mccoy/pitt tinney/ mich st.
green/jets mccoy/eagles tinney jumped off ship. coach had all 3 kids blueprints drawn up. no work ethic.
green tells tinney via facebook you was better than me and mccoy, sundays were awaiting tinney.

ken is like a little brother to me. very good relationship with him. in the reality he didnt have the work ethic to continue the success he was having. excellent young man who i think was the best ct. h.s. football player in history! ken stays in contact with dobbs, and newsome and tell them to not give up and HAVE the work ethic he didnt have!ALL GOOD STUFF

If I remember correctly after UConn he had invitations from Syracuse, Mich State and Grambling and in each situation it did not work out. You can't ask for more opportunities than that. I hope he's doing well these days.

Kenny Tinney has moved past his mistakes and is taking advantage of an opportunity to pursue his lifelong dream. Tinney signs with the Western CT Militia.

I was pretty happy to see that. The Militia is coached by one of my very best friends, Lonnie Young. Great addition to the team.

I wish Kenny Tinney the best but when I clicked on the link for the Western Connecticut Militia I was wondering if I missed us declaring war on New York.

The Militia have also signed former UConn and Big East standout, Marvin Taylor. Taylor was dismissed from the UConn program after two games in 2006. He completed his collegiate career at Pace University.

I remember the off season when Tinney and Corey Sheets committed to UConn. The two best players in the state were coming to Storrs. We were on our way. Alas neither ever made it to UConn.
