"Obviously it is always good to see that 4 Star big man, Armando Bacot, was in attendance for VCU’s Elite Camp. Bacot does not need to come to camps like these when he bolsters 40 offers, including a Duke offer. Bacot would be home run get for VCU, but it is going to be hard to beat out big time schools like Duke, UNC, Louisville, and many more."
