Actually, they offer an accelerated program that awards a HS diploma, Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctorate, JD, MD, and DO in just 12 months! I read it on the innernet somewhere! 🤣
12 months max, if you're really slow--Paper courses.

those with knowledge about how the sausage is made:
normally, when BU has to come up to Chicago area , does he just get a driver to take him up in a Tahoe or similar or does UI fly him up to Midway on a small private jet?
I’d have to imagine driving would be quicker, easier and way cheaper. But then again, I’m not the head ball coach.

Kendall might be my all-time favorite Illini. Would be awesome to have his son play for us.
Gill has always been my favorite Illini. Cool story, I graduated from college, not Illinois, in 88 and my best friend from college who was from Chicago actually got a job in Champaign and I was up there hanging out with him one weekend. Anyway, we were wandering around the campus and decided to go shoot some hoops and Kendall was in there at the time. Well, we got to talking and my buddy opened his mouth and told Kendall he should play one on one against me cause I was pretty decent. I laughed but he said ok. Well we played to 15, I got the ball first and made a couple of shots but then missed. That was it. Never got the ball back.

Couple more than most of us would have gotten! Kendall was damn good.

But have any of our insiders hinted this?

I know someone mentioned TA was having talks with Emoni's camp but being close to done is a different animal...
I'd be shocked if we get him. I know he has serious skills, but I'm skeptical of a 6'9 kid with a 6'7 wingspan and a 25" vertical leap. Though the latter can be improved to a certain degree.

The Bates talk starts here. Indy's gif is of a player with the last name of Bates.

Ant's original Bates tweet is now deleted, but Indy follows it up with this, saying he knows where Ant got his info:

This doesn't mean it's close to done, but yes, it's been hinted at.

Edit: And 0440 is obviously of a differing opinion to Ant, lol. At this point, I'm legit curious to see what the heck Emoni does.
