Right after UNC forward Armando Bacot announced his return for the 2023–24 season, the senior sent out a perfect Twitter message.
Bacot, who chose to use his last year of eligibility instead of finishing up his career now, posted a picture of Perry Ellis, the former Kansas star who is known for playing four seasons with the Jayhawks from 2012–16.
This was Bacot’s not-so-subtle way of adding to the story of him extending his impressive college career. While others have had longer college careers, Ellis is commonly referenced as a joke among college basketball fans because of how long his Kansas career seemed.
