Isaac Goins came out of high school thinking he'd be a standout wide receiver in college. Alonzo Carter , however, had other plans in mind. Carter coached Berkeley (Calif.) High's football team against El Cerrito, where Goins was an all-conference wide-out. After the 2009 season, Carter was hired to coach Contra Costa College in San Pablo, Calif.

For most of Kenneth Goins ' senior season, it appeared that his college choice would come down to Syracuse or Tulane.

On Monday, the three-star prospect committed to the Terps. “It was slow, but it came along,” Goins said of his recruitment. “I just tried to be patient with everything.
