North Carolina land 5-star guard Dylan Mingo

“I chose UNC because it felt like a family environment from the players, fans, to the coaches. I felt like the UNC history and everyone who played there is huge, knowing their will to win is always at the highest level. I would love to be a part of that," Mingo told Joe Tipton of Rivals.

North Carolina Tar Heels win over 5-star Guard Dylan Mingo 

Mingo expressed trust in Hubert Davis and the UNC coaching staff. He felt welcome on campus when he visited but the Tar Heels also stayed consistent with him on the recruiting trail.

Rivals ranks Mingo as the No. 1 point guard and No. 2 overall player in 2026. The 247Sports Composite ranks him as the No. 2 combo guard and No. 5 overall hoops recruit in the country.

Either way, Mingo believes the Tar Heels will be happy about the player that they're getting, and he believe he'll be able to do a little bit of everything for them.

“I would describe my game as a versatile and lanky guard who can guard multiple positions and play multiple positions on offense but primary a point guard that can play-make and score by getting to spots," he said.
