    Armando Bacot, the 6-foot-10 big man from IMG (FL) Academy and Team Takeover, will announce his college choice on Thursday.

    Bacot lists Oklahoma State, VCU, Georgia, North Carolina and Duke, and multiple sources told ZAGSBLOG North Carolina is the heavy favorite here.

    According to 247Sports, Bacot is ranked as the No. 26 overall player in the Class of 2019 and the No. 4 player from the state of Florida.

    Playing on the Nike EYBL Circuit for the first time this summer, Bacot helped lead Team Takeover to a 23-1 record and a Peach Jam Title. After averaging 11.6 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in eight games at Peach Jam, Bacot took home MVP honors for the event.

    He also won a gold medal with the USA U18 team at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Canada in June.
