Courtesy/Jeff Gross/McCook High School Kansas State University's new football coach Ron Prince, left, shown here posing with McCook High School senior Tony Purvis and the Wildcat jet at the aiport, was in McCook Thursday to meet with Purvis and his parents Mark and Kathleen Eiler. Bison coach Jeff Gross picked Prince up at the airport and accompanied Prince to the meeting. Then Purvis and Gross took Prince on a tour of the high school and introduced him to Purvis' other coaches and the McCook administration. Gross said Purvis will make his decision official on Wednesday morning -- the first day NCAA recruits can sign letters of intent. Purvis' McCook teammate Brendan Liess is expected to sign with NCAA Division II University of Nebraska-Kearney. Purvis, Prince and the Kansas State Wildcats will play six of their first seven games at home, opening against NCAA Division I-AA Illinois State on Sept. 2.
