Five-star prospect Armando Bacot will announce his college decision on Thursday, he tells 247Sports.

Bacot will choose between his final five schools -- Duke, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma State and VCU. Bacot hasn't taken official visit to any of his five finalists.

North Carolina is the heavy favorite, according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball. There are 18 logged predictions and all 18 have made the call for North Carolina.

Bacot, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound center, is coming off strong summer, where he helped lead Team Takeover to a Peach Jam championship. In the title game, which was nationally televised, he scored 14 points and reeled in 14 rebounds.

"Bacot is a bit of a throwback," 247Sports analyst Brian Snow said. "He is a true low post center who is a gifted scorer around the rim. He has tremendous hands and very good footwork. Bacot isn't a great athlete, but he rebounds the ball well and has long arms."

"As he continues to get into ideal physical condition, Bacot will only improve, and should fit in well in an offense that likes to utilize a traditional low post scoring threat," Snow added.

In 19 games on the EYBL circuit, Bacot averaged 10.9 points and shot better 54-percent from the field. He also reeled in 8.1 rebounds a game.

Bacot is regarded as the No. 26 overall prospect and the No. 7 center in the 247Sports Composite Rankings in the 2019 class.
