2026 Recruiting: Dylan Mingo breaks down visits; dives into upcoming officials & commitment timeline

Does this article state he's out? Would be good to put this one to bed so we don't have to end up on his list during his announcement, which is always hysterical.

Will be funny if this kid ends up at Penn St.

Not sure I read it that way either re: UConn, but he sure had a lot to say about Penn St

Article doesn't say we're out but the assumption is we are. I think our only shot is if this drags out to the spring and we lose Silas, Solo, and Braylon all to the NBA.

I need to go through this again? There are a bunch of hints. Gotta read all the tea leaves. You more than anyone know that.
 
His brother is off to a nice start at Penn State. Guessing if he doesn't go there to play with his brother it's because Penn State can't offer the NIL he wants. Not many non-twins play college ball on the same team.

I thought it was conclusive as in he stated it based on how you said it. Gotcha. Didn't know if I missed something.

It's a good question for those of us not following the recruitment of every single kid closely enough to parse out their many interviews. Assumed it was a long shot he'd come here but wasn't sure if the recent commitments had absolutely shut the door

O.K. I guess I wasn't clear. I just figured anyone opening this thread would have followed what has happened the last 2 weeks and read the posts in this thread. Mingo has not said UConn is out. But it's pretty clear from all the tea leaves that UConn pulled out of the race. As I said above, maybe if he's still available in the spring and UConn has a need they pick this back up. According to him he's not signing in the fall but wants to announce his choice shortly after the fall signing period is over.

It's ok HS, you don't have to be perfect all the time. I know you hold a high bar for yourself for detail orientation. To quote Billy Joel, I love you just the way you are, unconditionally.
 
In separate news, one-time UConn target Bryson Howard committed to Duke yesterday. He's currently the 12 ranked kid in the class per 247. They're also leading for #2 Jordan Smith. 7th ranked Anthony Thompson committed to Ohio St. So they are starting to come off the board.

Will be interesting to see how Scheyer plays it this year as this class doesn't have near the cache or instant impact, but will still likely want to get their 5 star minutes.

Prediction for this class is that a lot of these top kids are going to gravitate to where they are guaranteed minutes to position best for that watered down 2027 draft. I'm expecting a pretty even distribution, so much as going to second tier hoops schools (like OSU) if it guarantees time.

Admittedly, you can’t predict what recruits will do, but it would be nuts if he chose Penn State, IMO.

His brother Kayden is just a freshman, who was ranked #34 by 247. If Kayden has a good season, he might be transferring to an ACC, Big East, or SEC school, so Dylan wouldn’t be playing alongside him. Plus, after his first 2 years at Penn State, the coach’s record is 32-32. Finally, the only current PSU player in the NBA who was a first round pick is a rookie, Yanic Konan Niederhausen (pick #30, Clippers).

So if Dylan Mingo wants to be NBA-ready, and he has some good advisors around him, it’s hard to imagine him thinking that Penn State is a good option.
 
In all seriousness I think Mingo is overrated. His writeup on 247 was kinda rough. Maybe just by size and physicality he can grow into an amazing combo guard, if his mechanics are not fluid and his turnover ratio is higher than others, it's weak class.
 
For those silly Yarders who still think UConn is recruiting Mingo this fall.

Five-Star PG Dylan Mingo: Baylor is the school coming up pretty frequently in conversations I have with sources. The Bears are definitely a team to watch. NC State is in there as well and Will Wade will host him for an official visit this weekend. He still plans to see Oklahoma and North Carolina, though both schools have some catching up to do to seriously enter the mix.

Here comes the overrated now that we won’t get him takes (although I agree)
