Who Coyle is: desert transplant, A-3, Stice's roommate

pivotal · STANDING; recruitment UNDATED, age 13

  • When: STANDING — identity and status across the YDAU November window; the recruitment is UNDATED (he was thirteen; he is an 18's player by YDAU)
  • What: Kyle Dempsy Coyle is a Boys' 18's A-team singles man at E.T.A. — one of "the 18's A team's #3 and #4 singles guys" with Trevor Axford, the two preferring to skip doubles altogether; the 070 broadcast seats him at A-3 exactly (see Dating notes). He signs with Prince and Reebok for free gear. He grew up in the small Tucson AZ suburb of Erythema and claims thin desert blood and a special sensitivity to Boston's wet dawn chill; at thirteen he was lured east from Tucson's own Rancho Vista Golf and Tennis Academy by Schtitt's promises of self-transcendence — which makes the Thanksgiving WhataBurger Jr. Invitational a "double-edged" homecoming for him. He rooms with Ortho ("The Darkness") Stice, the 16's very top man drilling up with the 18's.
