Just returned from a visit with my Nebraskan Bro-in-law. He's a NU alum and booster. Travels to all home and away games...and can probably name the player who dropped a sure winning TD in a 1927 game against Kansas.
With that in mind, he is totally perplexed about Mizzou getting Woods: "I wonder what they could have offered him?" "It just doesn't make sense"...and blah blah, shaking his head.
So...Anyone know how/why we snagged him??
(Yes, I know--Drink is just a genius...but besides that??)

Nebraska is referring to their NIL program as NILbraska. Maybe Woods realized Missouri has more to offer than nill.

A program on the upswing vs a program in stagnation. Frost is catching heat while Drink is catching croots.
That's simplification, but look at Drinks presence on Social Media vs Frost. I just think he communicates both his and his programs purpose far better to this generation of kids.

I think of this as well: Drink is a non jock football nerd. You know who else fits this description? Nick Saban.

Woods decided on Mizzou 10 minutes after leaving campus. His words "All the other schools were just a school, Mizzou became my school." He and Drink had a conversation, 2 men with nothing in common, but Woods came away thinking that's "my coach." Drink sold it.
Also, I believe Scott Frost has an idea of the "culture" he wants to recruit. He seems to prefer kids with rural roots who bleed Husker red.

Saban played FBS level football.

True enough, but he was not what I would consider a "Jock", he was a 2nd line player at Kent State, undrafted, and had to be cajoled into a GA coaching role by Don James. He only took it because he was waiting for his wife to graduate.
