Derrick Henry’s high school national rushing record (12,124 yards) is an unfathomably high number. But a senior in Indiana is making a push to break it.
Kyle Goon: Navy football could have another All-American. Meet Landon Robinson, the midshipmen’s ‘Freak.’
The senior started at the Naval Academy as a linebacker, then gained 40 pounds in one offseason but kept his speed. Now the all-conference weight room freak is gunning for the NFL.
Kyle Goon: Terps’ transition to Buzz Williams feels awkward. But change could be a good thing.
One season after the Terps recaptured the fan base’s energy with a dramatic run to the Sweet 16, a remade program doesn’t feel connected to its past. But the Buzz Williams era, though awkward in its start, has the potential to build on what came before.
Kyle Goon: How Baltimore can keep its basketball talent with an old church — and a few million dollars
The Sanctuary Collective is a nonprofit facility with the backing of Carmelo Anthony that today aims to bring high-level basketball coaching to the heart of Baltimore — and tomorrow hopes to bring a whole lot more.
Kyle Goon: If Terps want to win bigger, they must move on from Mike Locksley
We’ve seen enough from Mike Locksley to know the seventh-year Terps coach isn't taking the football program any higher. And now programs such as Indiana are jumping Maryland in the conference pecking order.

CT Insider reported last week that the game was in jeopardy due to the shutdown, which dramatically reduced the operations of overseas military bases.
Kyle Goon: It’s time for the Ravens’ leaders to actually lead
There’s a gap between what the Baltimore Ravens players say and the accountability and leadership they show when it matters.
Ravens reset: Analyzing the team’s biggest holes, trade deadline plans and playoff hopes
The bye week is here in Baltimore. What a relief for the 1-5 Ravens.
Kyle Goon: Which Ravens coordinator is in more trouble? It might be Todd Monken.
For weeks, the spotlight has glared grimly on Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr, but his head coach and players have leapt to defend him. Now that Todd Monken is getting grilled for offensive shortcomings, it seems the decorated OC is getting less public support from those around him.
Kyle Goon: Is this Ravens season even worth saving?
Patching up this roster would take drastic action that does not feel prudent given the results so far.
Kyle Goon: In a down time for Ravens faithful, the Higgins family offers a ray of optimism
Linebacker Jay Higgins’ biggest backer is his father, Roy, an outsize character who immediately ingratiates himself to the fans of his son’s teams. His positive presence is a needed force in a season that has started ugly.
Maryland opens new basketball facility
The Terps just unveiled the Barry P. Gossett Basketball Performance Center. Maryland had been the only Big Ten team without a standalone basketball facility.

Kyle Goon: Ravens coach John Harbaugh is feeling the heat, but it’s not time to fire him — yet
Plenty of Ravens fans blame the team’s 1-3 start squarely on the head coach. But the best thing for the franchise is to stick with their longtime leader for now — at least until this season is actually lost.
Kyle Goon: Fixing the Ravens’ defense might be impossible. But Kyle Hamilton is the right guy for the job.
Even as the defense loses some of its leaders, in Hamilton, the Ravens have a foundational safety who is maturing quickly and whose leadership shows in good times and bad.
Kyle Goon: Tony Mansolino should not be the Orioles’ next manager. It’s time to look for an outside voice.
Baltimore’s interim manager has guided the club through a turbulent season and even played about .500 baseball. But an organization known for being insular sorely needs to challenge itself with an outside voice.
Kyle Goon: The Ravens’ inability to stop the run is the fatal flaw in their Super Bowl dreams
The team's most underwhelming run-stopping performance in eight years highlighted a fundamental shortcoming that will prevent the Ravens from reaching a championship level ... unless they change their trajectory.
