As North Carolina fans talk about the hopes of a redemption tour similar to the 2016–17 men’s basketball season, news broke on Wednesday that may be part of the puzzle for a repeat.
Armando Bacot, one of the core members of the Iron Five, announced that he would be returning next season for the Tar Heels rather than opting for the NBA draft.
The star forward released a video about his decision, the opening and tweet “Tar Heel forever” itself giving fans the feeling that he was moving on. Bacot said, “I look forward to coming back in the summers as an alum, playing pick-up with the current guys and teaching them the same things that we were taught by the former players.
