Elite Guard Dylan Mingo Shines in New York Basketball

January 16, 2026
Dylan Mingo went from unranked to a top-ten 2026 prospect while playing at Long Island Lutheran, a powerhouse outside New York City.

Dylan Mingo was not ranked when he arrived at Long Island Lutheran. Now the 6-foot-5 combo guard sits in the top ten nationally for the 2026 class. The transformation came through work, support from his family, and the competitive environment at one of the premier programs outside New York City.

This season, Mingo takes over as the primary ball-handler for Lu-Hi. The stage is bigger now, with college visits and NBA scouts watching. His rise from overlooked to elite shows what happens when talent meets the right situation.
