UNC Basketball Summer Preview: Armando Bacot

Posted Aug 26, 2019
A consensus 5-star recruit, both Rivals and the 247 Sports Composite rankings listed North Carolina freshman center Armando Bacot as the No. 27 player in the country. ESPN slotted him at No. 18. Along the way, he was named a McDonald’s All-American. That puts him firmly in the Tony Bradley and Coby White range of being a potential one-and-done. (Tar Heel Blog)
