Ask Michael Scherer (St. Louis, Mo./Mary Institute Country Day) about goals and what he wants to achieve and the list doesn't end. He sets a goal and he achieves it. He wanted to be a four-year varsity starter at the high school level, check. He wanted to lead his team in tackles and rushing yards, check. He wanted to be one of the top linebacker prospects at the Under-Armour combine in Orlando which was held on Sunday, check. He wants to be an Under-Armour All-American next season and make a return trip to Florida. That goal has yet to be achieved but the 6-foot-3, 236-pounder is already working hard to achieve it."I thought I did well at the combine," Scherer said. "It was wet in the morning because of the rain but the sun came out and dried everything out. I thought I tested well. I ran a 4.7 40 which isn't bad but I've done better. The one-on-one drills went well also. Under-Armour runs a great combine because those one-on-one drills can get really out of control but the coaches do a good job of making sure that everyone is in control while still staying competitive."I have to be honest. I want to be back down there next year. I want to play in the All-American game. That's my goal and why I showed to compete in the combine. I felt if they saw a kid from St. Louis come down that they would know that I mean business."Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Boston College and Nebraska have all officered Scherer a scholarship. Every school is talking about playing Scherer at a different position and that's alright with him."I just want to help my team win," Scherer said. "Whatever gets me on the field the quickest. I've been told fullback, inside linebacker, outside backer, tight end and H-back. It really doesn't matter to me."Scherer's father played his college football at Illinois State. His parents will help him make his college decision. "I think my parents would like me to pick a school close to home, but they've also told me that it's my decision and I need to find a school that is going to be a good fit for me both in football and academics," Scherer said."Besides the schools that have offered, I'm really hoping to hear more from Notre Dame, USC, Oregon, Oklahoma and Indiana. I'm wide open though."Scherer said he doesn't know at this point whether or not he'll attend anymore combines but he said he'll be visiting a lot of schools during the spring and maybe hitting some one-day camps at few schools. He says he has talked about being an early graduate, but at this time he doesn't think that's in the cards.Ness looking aroundAndrew Ness (St. Louis, Mo./Christian Brothers College) was a Ball State verbal commitment. The 6-4, 295-pound offensive lineman says he may line up a few visits in January but that he remains committed to Cardinals."I'm still committed to Ball State but I'm looking at setting up a visit in the near future," Ness said. "I really had a good relationship with [former coach] Stan Parish and coach (Phil) Burnett who was my offensive line coach. "The new coach (Pete Lembo) sounds like a great guy but I'm going to need to meet him and see where things go from there. I'm taking things one day at a time right now. Coach Lembo seems like a quality person. When I spoke to him, I liked his ideas about where he wanted to take the Ball State program. "Having said all of that, I want to maybe see a few more schools before I make that final decision," he said.Bryant down to twoChris Bryant (Chicago, Ill./Simeon) is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the Midwest. The 6-5, 330-pound guard has his college choices narrowed to Michigan and Arizona. "I plan on making my commitment at my school on Jan. 21 during a press conference," Bryant said. "I have it narrowed down to Michigan and Arizona. Ohio State is still in the picture and I'm considering visiting them before my press conference." This should be interesting. Arizona had a nice pipeline going from Chicago to Arizona because of offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, who is a St. Charles, Ill. native.Bedenbaugh has now taken the offensive line job with West Virginia. Michigan's Rich Rodriguez is still the head coach of the Wolverines but speculation has him being removed from his post in the near future. If Ohio State does decide to bring Bryant to Columbus for an official visit and they offer him a scholarship, this will be one interesting press conference on Jan. 21.
