A few programs were still trying to work an angle, but the Floridian is focused on ILL and his senior season

Let’s kick off our 2025 season preview series with a mailbag.

Submit your questions here.

Dylan Mingo came in at No. 4 in the recent 2026 On3 150 ranking update. The 6-foot-5 point guard who is playing this summer with the PSA Cardinals organization on Nike’s EYBL Circuit is having a standout NBPA Top 100 Camp so far.

With national media, NBA Scouts, and hundreds of coaches sitting courtside, Mingo is averaging 29.0 points, 5.0 assists, and 2.0 steals while shooting 64.9 percent from the field.

“I feel like I can shoot it or get to the basket, pull-up,” Mingo told On3. “I can make plays, make others better while being really good defensively.”

On3 was able to catch up with No. 4-ranked Dylan Mingo at the NBPA Top 100 Camp to discuss his recruitment. While he has not taken or scheduled any visits yet, he is speaking with some schools about scheduling some upcoming trips.

“I’m talking with Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, Louisville, and UNC about official visits,” Mingo said

Mingo talks schools​

ALABAMA: “They reach out a lot. Nate Oats came by the school to visit me, and that meant a lot. Their guard play right now is insane.”

UNC: “They just reached out, maybe a couple of weeks ago, but Coach Hubert (Davis) calls me all the time, and he texts me a lot. So it’s going to be about staying locked in with him.”

ILLINOIS: “They reach out a lot, so that is good. Now it’s about watching their past guards and seeing how they develop in the pros, and how I would do the same thing if I went there.”

LOUISVILLE: “Things are really good with them. I see them giving maximum effort all the time, and being consistent with that, no matter the outcome. Maximum effort.”

MISSOURI: “Dennis Gates is my guy, and we’ve been getting really close. The SEC is night after night after night, so playing in a conference like that would be amazing.”

In Dylan Mingo’s words​

While he says he does not have any visits set, Mingo says he has an idea of when he wants to start getting on campuses.

“I’ll probably look to take these visits during football season,” Mingo said.

On3’s No. 4 player in the 2026 cycle also talks about the main characteristics he will be looking for in a program while going on these visits.

“Having a strong relationship with the coaching staff and playing for a coach who believes in me and being able to come in and play as a freshman.”

Starting a new thread for the class of 2026 cycle.

Rivals and On3 are set to merge.

On July 1:

* Rivals Recruiting and Rivals High School will transition to the On3 Tech Platform.

* Rivals subscribers will receive access credentials on the On3 Tech Platform. A Rivals subscription will include access to all On3 Sports
national and fan site premium content.

* We will begin migrating individual Rivals fan sites (including Orange and Blue News) to the On3 Tech Platform. This process will take a couple weeks, depending on integration complexity.

I will post all updates and relevant information for subscribers in this pinned and locked thread.

Feel free to post any questions that might have in a separate thread.

List of official visits for this weekend (June 13-15) . Detailed story on Thursday.

Ranked the 7th best recruiting class in the country!!!

I am an Xfinity subscriber. I was channel surfing last night and noticed that the channel reserved for the now defunct NBC Sports Chicago (which for months had a graphic letting viewers know the channel no longer existed) was showing the Royals vs. White Sox game.

CHSN and Xfinity finally came to agreement and coverage began yesterday.

However, you need to subscribe to Xfinity's Ultimate Package. This is in contrast to the Premium Package which carries the Cubs' Marquee Network. The Ultimate Package is $20 more.

The other downsides that I have heard about:

The channel can no longer be access through the over the air digital channels that were set up in Chicago, Rockford, and Peoria. Viewers that could access the channel in that manner are upset that they now have to pay extra to watch bad teams. I did try to hook up a very expensive antenna to one of my TV's here in Champaign but could not get any signal from any of the assigned digital channels.

Other cable carriers and various streaming services such as YouTubeTV and Hulu aren't carrying the channel yet. It appears that if you want streaming, you either pay $20 a month for one team or $30 for all teams.

Michigan will not get an official visit after all
