There’s a good chance UNC’s Armando Bacot will lead the ACC in rebound average in 2024. He led with 10.44 rebounds per game last season, edging Jesse Edwards, formerly of Syracuse, who finished with 10.31. Bacot is the career leader at North Carolina with 1,221 total rebounds.
Edwards is now at West Virginia, where Josh Eilert replaced longtime, hot-headed head coach Bob Huggins, who self-destructed over the summer.
Bacot’s per game rebound average is 9.25 per game over 132 games, which is impressive by modern standards but hardly groundbreaking. Among the ACC’s leading career rebounders, 14 posted higher rebound averages than Bacot.
