Impressive?

From Chicago Sun-Times:

MOLK PICKS MICHIGAN: When Lemont coach Eric Michaelsen first saw David Molk, he didn't project him as a Division I football player. In fact, Molk didn't appear on anybody's radar screen until a college recruiter accidentally discovered him while scouting Molk's Notre Dame-bound teammate, Aaron Nagel.

Now the 6-2, 270-pound center is headed for the Big Ten. He made an oral commitment Wednesday to Michigan, choosing the Wolverines over Iowa, Wisconsin and West Virginia. No small achievement for a kid who could bench-press only 110 pounds as a 5-6, 175-pound freshman.

Molk, who has emerged as the strongest player on the Lemont squad (he benches 390 pounds and squats 575), said he chose Michigan ''because coaches always say you will get the feeling that will tell you where you want to go. After visiting Michigan last weekend, I had that feeling.''

Molk, who is rated as the No. 6 prospect in the area by recruiting analyst Tom Lemming, said he also was persuaded by Michigan's highly rated business school, his connection to offensive line coach Andy Moeller and the Wolverines' impressive weight-training program.

Impressive? Really? We sure about this?

What I want to know is what diet this kid was on. 8 inches and almost 100 pounds in 3 years. Sign me up!
