Five-star senior Dylan Mingo<\/a>, the best available guard in the 2026 class, has committed to Baylor<\/a>, he told ESPN on Monday.<\/p>\n

Mingo had previously committed to North Carolina, but reopened his recruitment following the coaching change in Chapel Hill. Baylor was one of his finalists when he picked the Tar Heels back in February and Scott Drew and his staff re-entered the picture once Mingo became available.<\/p>\n

“Baylor has such a positive coaching staff, and it starts with Coach Drew,” Mingo said. “Coach Drew and his staff are loyal and trustworthy people and coaches. Coach Drew is tough on his players and sticks with them during tough times.<\/p>\n

“I loved my visit there. I am excited to go there. It is a very positive culture.”<\/p>\n

Mingo will join his brother, Kayden<\/a>, in Waco after the freshman guard transferred to Baylor from Penn State earlier this month.<\/p>\n

“Playing with my brother Kayden is a big plus,” Mingo said. “It is a blessing to play with him again. We had success in high school with VJ Edgecombe<\/a> and Nigel James<\/a>. We have been playing together since we were little kids, and there is a built-in chemistry and trust you can’t duplicate. We keep each other accountable, too. Baylor was one of my final schools before, so I was comfortable with them.”<\/p>\n
