The Tar Heels are going ALL IN for _Dylan Mingo_, the five-star point guard in the 2026 class! Ranked #2 overall and #1 PG by Rivals, this 6’5” phenom from Long Island Lutheran is playing it smart—he’s trimmed his dream schools to four elite programs: UNC, Baylor, Penn State, and Washington. He’s ticked off official visits to each, and Chapel Hill’s buzz was electric on Nov 14! No commitment yet, but the countdown’s ON: expect a fireworks decision before year-end, and the ACC’s about to get a whole lot hotter.
What makes Mingo a game-shaker? The package is insane:
– Versatile maestro: Tight handle, combo moves, locks down D (2.3 steals in EYBL), dishes dimes like a pro. Think next-level playmaker.
– Length + vision: 6’5” with a 6’10” wingspan—reads ball-screens, crashes glass (7.6 rebounds/game), rebounds like a wing.
– Raw NBA potential: Only 16, shooting 23% from three… but the growth screams LEAP. Scouting reports? “Ceiling’s sky-high.”
– Brother vibes: Kayden Mingo’s a Penn State captain… sibling duo magic, or a twist?
Hubert Davis is pushing HARD, hyping UNC’s title chase. Mingo loves the vibe:
“He reaches out, says they’ll be good this year, get back on a UNC level. Feels real.”
Other suitors buzzed? Missouri, UConn, Oklahoma, Texas, Miami, Virginia—but Penn State’s a family contender. Brother Kayden’s there? Can UNC’s red-carpet charm seal the deal? The suspense is pulsing. Want insider updates, player meets, or how this flips the ACC race? Fire away!
