The brief
The show opens from Virginia State University’s homecoming, then quickly turns to whether Dak Prescott’s recent performances have strengthened or weakened the case for him as a top-five quarterback.
Kendrick Perkins, Stephen A. Smith, and the panel compare Prescott with Brock Purdy, focusing on pressure situations, preparation, and the Cowboys’ recent losses rather than reputation alone.
Perkins makes bold NBA calls, backing Anthony Edwards for MVP and predicting the Celtics will reach the postseason through the play-in; the panel also makes NFL Sunday picks.
The strongest homecoming segment comes from coach Henry Frazier, who explains how leadership councils, shared values, consistency, and accountability shape Virginia State’s 5–1 culture.
The broadcast closes by honoring Mike Ditka, celebrating the Woo Woos’ Stomp and Shake legacy, and treating the university’s football, band, and student community as one story.
