Dylan Mingo, the top basketball guard in the 2026 recruiting class, announced his commitment to Baylor on Monday after previously pledging to North Carolina.
The 6-foot-5 senior from Long Island Lutheran in New York is ranked as the No. 1 point guard and No. 2 overall player in his class. He originally committed to North Carolina in February, choosing the Tar Heels over Baylor, Penn State, and Washington.
Mingo decommitted from North Carolina earlier this year and reopened his recruitment. He also had offers from major programs including Alabama, Illinois, Louisville, UConn, and Texas.
The commitment is a major recruiting victory for Baylor coach Scott Drew and his program. Landing a five-star guard of Mingo's caliber can significantly impact a team's championship hopes.
Mingo will join the Bears for the 2026-27 season as he finishes his senior year of high school.
Mingo is considered the best point guard available for 2026, making this a huge win for Baylor's basketball program. Top recruits like Mingo can transform college teams and help them compete for national championships.
Mingo will complete his senior season at Long Island Lutheran before joining Baylor in 2026.
