There is no word yet on when season three of the Netflix hit will premiere, but considering they are currently filming it will not be for some time. Armando Bacot rose to college basketball fame this season as a junior when he led the North Carolina Tar Heels to the National Championship game. He also broke the ACC double-double record in a single season set by Tim Duncan and tied the NCAA single-season double-double record set by David Robinson.

Armando Bacot has already announced his return to North Carolina for his senior season. He will continue to capitalize on NIL deals like this one while he is playing college basketball. After his junior season, he will be a preseason favorite to win several NCAA Player of the Year awards. When his basketball career is over maybe he has a career as an actor in the future?
