Top-10 G Dylan Mingo, ex-UNC commit, joins brother at Baylor
PSA Cardinals’ Dylan Mingo (2) shoots the ball during a game at Nike EYBL at the Memphis Sports & Events Center on Saturday, May 17, 2025. Dylan Mingo, a top-10 recruit in the Class of 2026 who decommitted from North Carolina after its coaching change, will play for Baylor next season.
Mingo joins his brother Kayden Mingo, a fellow guard who transferred from Penn State to Baylor earlier this month.
Dylan Mingo committed to the Tar Heels in February while the program was still led by Hubert Davis. North Carolina fired the head coach after the team’s first-round NCAA Tournament loss to 11th-seeded VCU, in which the Tar Heels squandered a 19-point lead.
The younger Mingo — a combo guard ranked No. 6 overall in his class by the 247Sports Composite — decommitted earlier this month after North Carolina hired ex-Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone.
Mingo averaged 23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists on his way to earning MVP recognition at the NBA Top 100 Camp last summer, according to ESPN.
“Playing with my brother Kayden is a big plus. It is a blessing to play with him again,” he told ESPN in part.
Kayden Mingo, a top-40 recruit in the 2025 class, had a standout freshman campaign at Penn State. He averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and a Big Ten-best 2.1 steals per game in 28 appearances, all starts.

WWE reaches deal with The CW to broadcast NXT premium live events
Jan 28, 2023; San Antonio, TX, USA; WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque aka Triple H speaks during a press conference after the WWE Royal Rumble at the Alamodome. Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images The WWE announced on Tuesday that it has reached a deal with The CW to broadcast all NXT premium live events exclusively on network going forward.
That deal is set to begin with The Great American Bash this summer and will include the next 20 PLEs over the next several years, airing them simultaneously live across the country.
This will bring the entirety of the television programming for NXT, which “showcases WWE’s hottest up-and-coming Superstars,” to The CW. The network already broadcasts the weekly NXT show on Tuesdays.
“WWE NXT has energized our Tuesday nights by consistently delivering a loyal and passionate fanbase to The CW every week,” Brad Schwartz, president of The CW, said in a statement. “Adding WWE NXT Premium Live Events to our schedule is a natural fit, providing one broadcast destination for audiences to watch all their favorite Superstars, storylines and championship matches.”
NXT, which began airing weekly in 2012, is less than two years into a five-year deal it signed with CW in October 2024 to broadcast its weekly programming.
“The CW has played an integral role in raising the profile of our up-and-coming Superstars, and we are excited to bring NXT Premium Live Events to broadcast television for the first time ever,” Shawn Michaels, WWE senior vice president of talent development creative, said in a statement.

Bucs exercise 5th-year option on DT Calijah Kancey
NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive Calijah Kancey The Buccaneers exercised the fifth-year option for defensive tackle Calijah Kancey on Monday, ensuring he remains in Tampa through the 2027 season.
The option reportedly gives Kancey $14.475 million in guaranteed money for the 2027 campaign.
Kancey went on injured reserve on Sept. 17 with a torn pectoral muscle that required what was reported at the time to be season-ending surgery, though he returned for the final game of the season.
The 25-year-old has been hampered by injuries since entering the league in 2023. He missed three of the first four games of his rookie season with a calf injury and was sidelined again by a calf injury to start the 2024 season, though he returned to finish that season with 7.5 sacks in the final 12 games.
The 2023 first-round draft pick (19th overall) has recorded 11.5 sacks, 30 quarterback hits, 55 tackles, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble in 29 career games (28 starts).
