MESA, ARIZONA: The Dylan Mingo EYBL Session 1 performance has established the five-star guard as one of the elite prospects in the 2026 class. The Long Island Lutheran (NY) standout led the PSA Cardinals to an impressive 3-0 record while averaging 23.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.3 steals per game. His clutch play included a game-winning three-pointer in a 57-50 victory over Expressions Elite, showcasing why he’s become a priority target for High School Basketball recruiters nationwide.
Recruitment Status and Top Contenders
Mingo’s recruitment remains “wide open” with multiple high-major programs in pursuit. His notable suitors include the Kansas Jayhawks from the Big 12, the Texas Longhorns from the SEC, and the Illinois Fighting Illini of the Big Ten.
“I want to show I can control the game as a point guard—defense, creating for others, scoring when needed,” Mingo stated about his development focus. The 6’5″ guard has a family connection to Penn State Nittany Lions, as his brother Kayden is a 2024 signee, potentially influencing his decision similar to other recent Big Ten recruiting wins.
Development and Future Plans
Long Island Lutheran coach John Buck praised Mingo’s growth: “He’s one of the most winning players I’ve coached. His year-to-year improvement is unmatched.” The talented guard plans to schedule official visits later this summer, prioritizing coaching relationships and development pathways.
Mingo’s rise parallels fellow New York standout Kiyan Anthony, highlighting Long Island Lutheran’s ability to develop elite 2026 recruits. His EYBL Session 1 performance has only intensified the competition among programs seeking his commitment.
