It’s official. On Thursday afternoon, North Carolina received its second commitment for the class of 2019. Armando Bacot put an end to his recruitment and officially declared via Twitter he will join the Tar Heels next season. It would be inaccurate to call this announcement a formality, but the Heels have been the expected landing spot for Bacot for approximately the past six months.
Quite simply, Bacot was UNC’s main priority at center. Over the last 18 months he has made multiple unofficial visits to Chapel Hill, and in July released his final five schools. North Carolina made the cut, along with Duke, VCU, Georgia, and Oklahoma State.
