STROUDSBURG, Pa. — When the Stroudsburg High School baseball team pulled out a dramatic playoff win over Emmaus in extra innings Wednesday, it kept alive its season. It also ensured that one of the nation’s top players would have at least one more game to play in his impressive high school career. Mike Nikorak is a strapping senior right-hander with...

Marcus Mariota trade scenario: Browns will end up with Kelly's QB
I still don’t see how the Eagles reasonably come away with Marcus Mariota, and by reasonably I mean without giving away key current players and high picks in future drafts. I am standing on my earlier projection that the Browns make the most sense to end up with the QB Chip Kelly likely covets. Cleveland has a mess on...

CSN Mock Draft, Pick 25: Vikings select …
Arthur Brown, MLB, Kansas State (6-0, 241) In our mock draft, the Vikings used the first (No. 23 overall) of their 11 total picks on a cornerback. Two slots later, they target another pressing need on defense by adding Arthur Brown, an athletic middle linebacker who plays bigger than his size. Arthur is the brother of Eagles RB Bryce Brown….

NFL draft position preview: LB
The defense the Eagles run under first-year coordinator Billy Davis is a huge question (see story). We may not know what it resembles until we see it for the first time at training camp. For purposes of trying to stay with a uniform theme, I am focusing on players that are widely projected to fit a 3-4 defense. When necessary,…

CSN Mock Draft, Pick 21: Bengals select …
Manti Te’o, MLB, Notre Dame (6-1, 241) Manti Te’o’s shockingly poor performance in the BCS title game casts him in the role of a leopard needing to change its spots. So, it’s convenient that he’s available for the Bengals, who need depth at linebacker. One thing the past several months have revealed about Te’o is he’s a different breed...

On defense, the secondary, linebackers and defensive line all need attention on a unit that made up one of the oldest rosters in the NFL. What is needed throughout the ranks is an infusion of young talent,…

13. Star Lotulelei, DL, Utah (6-2, 311) Tampa Bay struck gold in last year’s draft. Its first three picks –- safety Mark Barron, RB Doug Martin and OLB Lavonte David -– all made fluid transitions to the pro game during a trying year for the team. The Bucs (7-9) lost five of their final six games to ruin a promising…
