No mention of Hoyas in this article... Armando Bacot is one of the fastest rising juniors in the country. On Thursday when the updated Scout.com 2019 rankings are released, Bacot, a 6-foot-10 post player out of Richmond (Va.) Trinity Episcopal, will move into the five-star range. Bacot showed on the opening day of the NBPA Top 100 Camp that he’s certainly deserving of that type of ranking, as he showed his versatility and ability to impact the game in a variety of ways on offense. “I’m just a competitor and a low post scorer that can block shots,” Bacot said when describing his game. “I’m a winner.” What makes Bacot a winner? “My last probably 60 games, I’ve only lost three times,” he said. “I just go out there and compete I just know how to win.” Bacot said he models his game Jahlil Okafor and DeMarcus Cousins because “they are both back to the basket, old school bigs, but also versatile.” www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1785004-armando-bacot-shines-talks-recent-visits

He's shown why he already claims scholarship offers from several top programs including Virginia, Virginia Tech, Kansas, Georgetown, North Carolina State, Villanova, Cal and more.
The big man has been hearing quite a bit from Georgetown, a program he finds intriguing given the hire of new head coach Patrick Ewing, a Hall of Fame center himself.
“I think he can change the culture there having all that NBA experience,” said Bacot, who stars on the AAU circuit with Team Loaded. “I talked to one of their assistants, but I haven't had a chance to talk to Patrick Ewing.”
But the process remains open for Bacot, who just finished his sophomore year and says he's been hearing a lot from UCLA, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Florida State.

Armando Bacot made his move into five-star range in Scout's updated rankings early Thursday and on the court he certainly proved he belonged there. Bacot, a 6-foot-10 post player, went 11-for-19 from the field, scoring 24 points and grabbing 23 rebounds during his two games on Thursday. At his size, Bacot has value in the post and does a good job scoring from close because of his good touch and strength, but he's also versatile and able to stretch the floor with his jump shot. Bacot is one of the fastest rising juniors in the country. Recruiting: Florida, Florida State, Kansas, Louisville, Duke, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Villanova, North Carolina www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1785348-nbpa-day-two-top-performers

MR. VELCRO Armando Bacot Power forward 4 STARS Trinity Episcopal Richmond, VA RR: N/A Ht: 6'10" Wt: 235 lbs Class: 2019 - POSITION 24 NATIONAL - STATE Commitment status: UNDECIDED The only junior big man to make the all-tournament team, Bacot did so because of his work around the basket. Leading the entire event in rebounding, Bacot had games of 13 and 15 boards a piece as it seemed like any time hand his hands touched the ball, he immediately possessed. He had no issues corralling rebounds within traffic and sports unbelievable instincts in making plays out of his area. Averaging over 11 points and seven rebounds per game in 25 minutes of action, Bacot is one of the best rebounders in America thanks to his Velcro-like set of hands. Recruitment: Bacot repeatedly speaks on his interest from Virginia Tech, Duke, Kansas, and Virginia, but also pulled in an offer from Louisville on Saturday. He will take an unofficial visit to USC and UCLA at the end of the month. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/nba-top-100--30

It should come as no surprise that North Carolina extended an offer to Armando Bacot this week. In an era where coaches would much rather throw out smaller ball lineups onto the playing floor, Roy Williams has stuck to what has gotten him this far. Bacot will be nicked for his below the rim game but one must note just how productive he remains against the elite. Playing against a talented Asia Pacific frontline on Saturday morning, Bacot more than held his own against others a year or two older than him. For most Tar Heel fans, they will immediately think of Kennedy Meeks when they see Bacot. Each own a set of unbelievable mitts as they snatch everything within their grasp, are tremendous passers from the low post setting, and can really rebound the ball. North Carolina is not a clear leader with Bacot as Duke, Virginia, Virginia Tech and several others have jumped into the mix for the standout center. While he is more of a throwback post, his recruitment will still be very heated. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/evans-takeaways-saturday-action-at-adidas-nations

Announce his top 10?...this is ludicrous...anytime one of these kids has some elongated list, you can bet your shirt he ain't comin' here...sounds like Landers Nolley redux...has he decommited from Va Tech yet?...final 4 or 5, sure...final 10? these kids are on such ego trips...really expect people to believe that you are seriously considering 10 schools? Can't wait for the revelation of the final 7...probably gonna schedule a prime time TV segment and announce for Duke...I reserve the right to be wrong...
