Top Basketball Recruits Visit Multiple Programs Ahead of 2026-27 Decisions

Several top basketball prospects in the 2026 and 2027 classes are making official visits and drawing significant recruiting interest from major college programs. Dylan Mingo, a five-star combo guard ranked No. 5 nationally, is visiting Penn State, where his older brother is team captain; he is noted for his versatility and defensive skills. Reese Alston, a highly sought-after point guard in the 2027 class ranked 24th nationally, recently hosted a visit from Texas as they seek to rebuild their program under Sean Miller. Caleb Holt, ranked No. 6 overall in the 2026 class, plans an official visit to Arizona after previously visiting several top schools including Alabama and Kentucky. Michigan State is pursuing Julius Avent, a top-100 four-star power forward in the 2026 class, with Avent narrowing his choices to Michigan State, Seton Hall, Xavier, and Penn State. Finally, Kansas is a leading finalist for Taylen Kinney, the No. 2 point guard in the 2026 class, who is expected to announce his college decision soon, potentially impacting other recruiting commitments for the Jayhawks.
