Five-star guard Dylan Mingo committed to the Baylor Bears on Monday for the 2026 class.

Mingo previously committed to North Carolina, but decommitted after the school fired Hubert Davis. 

"I believe coach [Scott] Drew was a big factor in helping VJ Edgecombe improve and prepare for the NBA," Mingo said. "He had some tough moments as a freshman and coach Drew helped him through it. They have produced a lot of professional players, especially in the backcourt."

Mingo will join his brother Kayden in Waco.

"Playing with my brother Kayden is a big plus," Mingo added. "It is a blessing to play with him again. We had success in high school with VJ Edgecombe and Nigel James. 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."
