Three Big Ten Starting Quarterbacks Are From IMG Academy
Rutgers today named true freshman Artur Sitkowski from IMG Academy as its starting quarterback. He's the second freshman QB starter from IMG, joining Minnesota walk-on Zach Annexstad, who was named the starter a few days ago.
Michigan's starting QB, meanwhile, is also from IMG Academy. Fellow named Shea Patterson. Perhaps you've heard of him.
Perhaps WD has a database on this, but I'm guessing this is the first time in history that one high school has produced three Big Ten starting quarterbacks in the same season. I'm kind of glad we have a pipeline hooked up to that particular school.

It's so fuckin Rutgers to have their QB be the IMG QB who got benched for the walk-on that's now starting at Minnesota.
How do you do it, Rutgers? P.S. I can't wait for Rutgers-Kansas, that's going to be incredible.

Sitkowski wasn't good enough for Michigan to continue recruiting--or he probably would've signed on the Blue dotted line.

If by incredible you mean incredibly bad then I agree.
August 25th, 2018 at 7:56 PM ^
Yes, exactly. Buttgers vs. Kans-ass. Can't wait.

I can't wait for Rutgers to lose to the University at Buffalo

It's certainly an interesting piece of info. Although, reading the boards for Rutgers and Nebraska, it seems like more of a matter of them not having any better QBs rather than the freshman playing out of their minds. Sitkowski, in particular, seems to have struggled mightily during fall camp.

3 in the Big Ten! That’s 30%!!! Wait, no

Clearly, your degree isn’t mathematics. Once you get a degree in math, there are four things you can no longer do: add subtract multiply or divide.
I have this problem, a math degree, and it sucks for an engineer. My engr degrees can’t cancel out the effect of the math degree.

You’re probably correct (obviously, I’m a statistician)
August 25th, 2018 at 5:46 PM ^
It’d be 30% in the big 12...I think
August 25th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
I’m not not sure anyone knows at this point anymore.

Bush Gill and Heavy Mettelus is also impressive.

Why is there a space between Lyons and Sitkowski?
