From the moment Bacot committed to UNC back in 2018, he’s been a full-throated fan and model Tar Heel, even as his first two seasons have arguably not gone the way he thought they would. He tried to work with Garrison Brooks in his first year as the pair tried to work in the dual big roles in the Roy Williams system, but injuries ultimately sunk that season that was headed to an early finish before COVID ended everyone else’s. Last year saw him as one of four bigs trying to get time, and again as the role seemed to consistently morph, there was struggling as the Heels limped to a first round exit in Roy Williams’ final year.
