The North Carolina Tar Heels got a good one in five-star class of 2019 prospect Armando Bacot, and his commitment became official on Wednesday. The 6-foot-10, 240-pound center signed his National Letter of Intent to play basketball at North Carolina at approximately 10:00 a.m. according to Rivals recruiting analyst Eric Bossi.
Ranked No. 19 in the 247Sports Composite, Bacot was a standout at Trinity Episcopal School in Richmond, Virginia before transferring to Florida-based IMG Academy for his senior season. Roy Williams and the Tar Heels spent years recruiting the talented big man, but it wasn’t until mid-August that he pledged to the University of North Carolina.
