With the imminent departure of senior forward Luke Maye, and the uncertainty surrounding a group of largely inexperienced sophomore bigs, Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels continue to look for front court help in the classes of 2019 and beyond.
After missing out on many of their top targets over the past few years, they were thrilled to get a commitment from Armando Bacot, one of the nation’s premier high school bigs. The class of 2019 prospect should help alleviate some of the Tar Heels’ immediate concerns with depth, as well as add a talented big man to the roster that could potentially make his way into North Carolina’s starting lineup in the fall.
