Edna Karr 2025’s football team signs 15 players to D1 scholarships

Yesterday was a monumental day in Louisiana high school football history. 15 of Edna Karr’s 2026 graduating football players signed football scholarships to play at Division I (FBS and FCS) schools. 

In today’s world of college football and how teams stack themselves with transfer portal players from lower tier schools, often leaving HS students to fend for themselves at Group of 5, lower lever FCS, Division II, Division III, and even NAIA and NJCAA (JUCO) schools, what Karr accomplised is no small feat.

To my knowledge, there is no other school in Louisiana football history to accomplish such a feat. And it is not for nothing. The Cougars have not lost a football game since late in the 2023 post-season. They are the Louisiana defending Division I-Select state champions and are on track to be back-to-back reigning champions.

This year’s Karr team may very well go down as one of the best high school football teams in Louisiana history if they finish the course and win the Division-I select State Championship on December 13. 

It will mark the 2nd undefeated season in the row for the Cougars, competing in arguably the state’s toughest playoff bracket. Most would say they face the toughest regular season schedule as well, going through the gauntlet known as the ‘Catholic League’ (against the likes of St. Aug, John Curtis, Jesuit, Brother Martin, Rummel, Holy Cross and Warren Easton on a yearly basis.)

Leading the way for the team from the West Bank of New Orleans ranked ninth in the entire nation, is 5-star defensive tackle Richard Anderson (the #1 defensive tacke in the entire nation in the 2026 class) and 4-star safety Aiden Hall, both whom committed to and due to sign with LSU.

QB/ATH John Johnson surprised some when he flipped his commitment from Washington State to West Virginia on signing day. Two of his teammates (RB Tre Garrison and DB Torrence Sanders) decided to stay committed to the Washington State Cougars.

Two other notable signees included DB Hayward Howard, who signed with perennial power Texas Longhorns and fellow DB Maurice Williams Jr., who decided to sign the ink with the University of Colorado, coached by NFL Hall of Fame CB Deion Sanders.

Blake Baker set to become next Tulane coach

According to my sources, LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker is set to become the next Tulane Green Wave head coach.

Baker has cemented himself as one of the best coordinators in all of college football and has recently interviewed for a few head coaching vacancies, including the head coaching gig for the Memphis Tigers.

Baker famously played for the Tulane Green Wave between 2000-2004 so he has ties to the university and the New Orleans area. So it wouldn’t be surprising to see him accept the Tulane job, as he wants to advance his coaching career past being a college coordinator, even if it is at a major Power 4 conference school like LSU (who recently hired a new coach.)

A deal may be announced beforehand, but I wouldn’t count on/expect one to be held before the Green Wave’s conference championship game against North Texas this Friday and/or if they win, before the conclusion of their playoff run. Stay tuned to www.sportstalkque.blogspot.com for more details to come.

2022-2023 NBA season awards

The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and that means we aren’t far away from the winners of each individual NBA annual awards being announced. Some may be pretty ob. Here is who I think is deserving of each major individual award and who should make the all-NBA teams. Quick note, to qualify for any major award, I used the same rule that the league uses, which is a player must player in at least 50 games to be eligible. That is why you MAY find a glaring omission or 2 (*cough* Kevin Durant *cough*). Let me know what y’all think of my picks in the comments or jump on any & all social media platforms (@SportsTalkQue) to tell me how y’all feel there too.

LeBron James point total vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

Tonight kicks off the annual NBA playoffs with a ‘play-in’ game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves and there is money to be made. I fully expect LeBron James to go off and have a big night against a weakened T’Wolves defense. Watch the video below to see why I feel like it would be a good idea to put some cash on LeBron going over his projected point total tonight. If the video doesn’t show, just head over to my YouTube channel to check it out.
