Overview
- UNC and five-star guard Dylan Mingo parted ways Monday, with multiple outlets reporting he has reopened his recruitment.
- Mingo never signed a National Letter of Intent, so his February pledge under then-coach Hubert Davis was non-binding.
- The decision followed Michael Malone’s hire in early April and meetings over the weekend between the new staff and Mingo.
- Mingo is a 6-foot-5 Long Island Lutheran standout ranked top-10 nationally who missed most of his season with an ankle injury but earned NBPA Top 100 camp MVP last summer.
- For UNC, the split comes as Malone retains 2026 commit Maximo Adams, adds Virginia Tech guard Neoklis Avdalas, and recruits transfers including Juke Harris and Utah guard Terrence Brown.
