It might be only a matter of time before King Bacot appears on the UNC basketball wishlist.
Rankings for the 2029 class, consisting of current eighth graders, are still nonexistent on most recruiting sites. But it's no secret that King Bacot, younger brother of recent five-year UNC basketball starting center Armando Bacot, is among the top contenders to debut at No. 1 overall in the cycle in a couple of years.VCU became the first official Division I suitor with its offer to Bacot in September. Then came McNeese State in late October and North Carolina Central two months later.
Armando Bacot, the UNC basketball program's all-time leading rebounder and double-double producer now playing for the Memphis Hustle in the NBA G League, hasn't been shy when it comes to singing his ultra-competitive brother's praises on social media. The same goes for mixtape creators: Given King Bacot's support of his brother and the Tar Heels over the years paired with his crafty moves on the court, chances are he'll begin garnering attention from UNC basketball head coach Hubert Davis and his staff before longMatt Giles is the editor and publisher of North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, Duke Blue Devils on SI, and NC State Wolfpack on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
