Transfer Portal: UNC Parts Ways With Five-Star Guard Dylan Mingo - What Else Did UNC Do?
Reese, Pam and Alex discuss Dylan Mingo and UNC parting ways, transfer portal moves and more.
Five-star guard Dylan Mingo decommitting from North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball is a major shake-up that reflects the program’s transition. One of the top players in the 2026 class, Mingo had committed earlier in the year, but the coaching change from Hubert Davis to Michael Malone quickly altered the situation. After meeting with the new staff, both sides decided to part ways, making his decommitment feel more mutual than typical, especially unusual for a five-star recruit.
The move highlights how much UNC is reshaping its roster and identity under new leadership, prioritizing fit within the system over simply retaining highly ranked commitments. What really happened?
Louisville has been one of the most aggressive teams in the 2026 men’s college basketball transfer portal, completely reshaping its roster through a mix of major additions and significant turnover. The Cardinals landed two headline transfers in Flory Bidunga (formerly Kansas), one of the top big men available, and Jackson Shelstad (formerly Oregon), a dynamic guard who immediately strengthens the backcourt. Bidunga in particular is viewed as a potential program-changing frontcourt presence and both additions have significantly raised expectations for the team under head coach Pat Kelsey. How impactful are these moves?
