Saw this on 24/7 Sports today from Coach Bielema at Illinois on his 2 QBs:

“The path that both DeVito and Sitkowski took to Illinois is somewhat similar. Both were ranked among the top 400 prospects of their respective recruiting classes, according to 247Sports, and both started their career close to home on the East Coast. Both have big personalities and aren’t afraid to command a room, oftentimes organizing player-led offseason workouts to hone on timing with receivers. W

Then Bielema ran into wide receiver [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/Isaiah-Williams-93607']Isaiah Williams[/URL][/B] during the offseason, the head coach asked about Williams’ impressions of Sitkowski.

“'He’s a lot like Art but without the coach’s voice,'” Bielema said Williams relayed to him. “I kind of laughed because I knew that’s the way I see it as well.”

The two quarterbacks are different, though, despite their geographically similar upbringing and routes to Illinois. Not that it’s a bad thing, Bielema points out.

“They’re both uniquely different,” Bielema said. “They both handle things different. Tommy, I kind of have to grab him and say, ‘Hey, this is what I’m saying.’ He’s kind of like, ‘Yeah, yeah.’ You got me, right? Art looks at me and locks it in. Everybody is their own person.”

So, not to read the tea leaves too hard, but it sounds like Bielema see Sitkowski as a coach on the field who is [I]really [/I]paying attention to what the Coach tells him.  And DeVito is the who's maybe not paying attention, or is inside his own head too much.

Doesn't sound like Tommy Gun is the favorite, at this point.
