Dylan Mingo commits to UNC basketball. What it means for Hubert Davis, Tar Heels
Dylan Mingo, a five-star 6-foot-5 combo guard ranked No. 6 nationally, chose UNC for roster fit and staff momentum, becoming the second recruit in the 2026 class.
- On Feb. 17, 2026, Dylan Mingo committed to UNC, announcing his choice on ESPN's First Take over Baylor, Penn State, and Washington, as reported by Rivals.
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill pursued Mingo for months, offering him in May and hosting an official visit in November, as recruiting services like 247Sports and Rivals favored UNC before his scheduled announcement on Tuesday, February 18.
- Mingo profiles as a 6-foot-5 two-way guard with a 6-foot-11 wingspan, averaging 23.8 points, 6.8 assists and 6.5 rebounds in four NBPA Top 100 camp games despite an ankle injury.
- Mingo's commitment makes him the second member of UNC's 2026 class, joining Maximo Adams and projected to fill a Seth Trimble-type guard role amid a largely returning core.
- With signing day for the 2026 class approaching in April, UNC's roster and NBA-draft outlook could be impacted by the addition of early commits like Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar, depending on roster retention.
