Mingo averaged 13.7 points and 4.3 assists as a freshman and gives Baylor a needed true point guard after multiple roster departures.
- On Thursday, Penn State transfer Kayden Mingo committed to Baylor, choosing the Bears over Oklahoma for his sophomore season under head coach Scott Drew in Waco.
- Mingo starred as a freshman for the Nittany Lions, starting all 28 games while averaging 13.7 points, 4.3 assists, and 2.1 steals per game with a 51.2% effective field goal rate.

- While Mingo excels as a ball-dominant playmaker, he shot just 24.4% from deep last season; developing perimeter consistency will be his primary focus in Waco.
