Even dating back to when Armando Bacot was dominating as a player at the University of North Carolina, Tar Heel fans already became very familiar with his younger brother, who happens to be a rising star basketball player in his own right.
King Bacot, a combo guard from the Class of 2029, has already established himself among the top prospects in his graduating class. Tar Heel fans have been clamoring for UNC to extend an offer his way, wanting him to continue the Bacot legacy in Chapel Hill.
Well, King Bacot is hauling in the college offers, and his latest has his older brother asking the question we've all wanted an answer to for quite some time now.
King Bacot's latest offer has Armando Bacot asking the important questions
On social media, Bacot announced that he has received an offer from the University of Virginia. An in-state product, Bacot has rightfully earned the attention of the Cavaliers, who also heavily recruited his older brother before he eventually committed to Roy Williams and the Tar Heels.
With this latest offer, Bacot took to social media to put the pressure on his former team.
@UNC_Basketball what we doing ? https://t.co/D9O4xZIW4m

Yes, UNC, WHAT ARE WE DOING?!
We get that the focus right now is on the 2027 class, and the 2028 crop of talent isn't far behind. While 2029 feels like a long time away, it will be here before we know it, which makes it even more critical that you jump into the mix for Bacot now before it's too late.
Let's face it: Tar Heel fans will be absolutely sick if he commits to a school like VCU or Virginia. It simply can't happen.
Moments in the Duke/UNC rivalry when it was the absolute best to be a Tar Heel fan
The Tar Heels need to extend an offer his way, providing them the opportunity to start building a relationship with him. For the Bacot family, they still have plenty of UNC connections, including the likes of Sean May, Pat Sullivan, Eric Hoots and others who are still around following the head coaching change at North Carolina.
They aren't as familiar with Michael Malone, but the good news is, that can change quickly! Even if you need some contact information, it's safe to say that many people within the program can get that from Armando, helping bridge the gap to make this connection happen.
Yes, we all appreciate UNC's efforts in recruiting the top-tier players in the 2027 and 2028 classes. However, we all are like Armando Bacot in wondering why King Bacot hasn't earned an offer from the Tar Heels up to this point, something that we all agree needs to change in the very near future.
Who knows, an offer from the Tar Heels might just be all that's needed to get King Bacot to also take his talents to Chapel Hill for his college basketball career. Of all the high school prospects out there, there's no doubt that King Bacot sits near the top of every wish list that fans have created.
Now, let's make it happen.
