Missouri RB with new suitor
In the beginning, 5-foot-10, 203-pound running back Kingsley Ehie was really interested in Big 12 football that included such teams as Kansas, Kansas State, and Missouri but with an opportunity elsewhere waiting for him, his tune might be changing.
Army has presented Ehie with the beginning stages of an offer and the Springfield (Mo.) Hillcrest player is looking at the application process to get the ball rolling. It appears that this offensive talent likes what he's hearing so far.

"The coaches up there said that they really are interested in me and want to get me there," Ehie said. "I'm just going through the process on what I have to do to get an offer. I'm filling out the paperwork and that sort of thing to apply and get into a military institution."
"That's really the main D-1 school along with Kansas and Missouri. Army is the most serious."
One school he wanted to hear from for several reasons includes an institution Ehie likes not only for athletics but academics.
"I really like Duke because it's just a place full of great academics and just like West Point, when you leave there you've got a great degree that can take you places," Ehie said.
Ehie has yet to set up any trips but knows of one after the latest developments in recruiting interest.
"Army will definitely get one but I'll probably just wait and see what comes up," Ehie said. "I'm in no rush right now."
