I know nothing about Mingo, other than his high recruit ranking. With all of the downside and low expectations people are posting about, what are the positives that led to him being such a highly ranked recruit?

To also quote the IC report: “Mingo knows how to score.”

awesome positional size, strong-bodied 6'4 with a 6'10 wingspan gives him the ability to finish from a lot of angles around the rim and defend 1-3 and sometimes 4 - and he uses it, he's a great finisher around the rim even without being an explosive athlete and is a dynamic defensive player. great vision and creativity as a passer, routinely makes passes with his left that catch defenses off guard and makes all the other passes too (though he's liable to turn it over more than you'd like, gets a little too much dip on his chip at times. Can be freshman Cadeau-esque in that regard). Good midrange jumper that he gets to pretty easily with an advanced handle, pull-up middie and FT mechanics are a lot cleaner than his 3pt shot - think Nassir Little. IMO there are similarities in both the shooting profile and the actual mechanics.

Again, not too many teams will do OK without their two best players who also happen to be the only two reliable inside players. I mean, yes the perimeter has holes, and we know that, but the idea that the game should have been close seems like fantasy to me.

I suspect we paid Caleb Wilson a lot of money. Lot more than people think.

Not 25 points bad for a Top program.

How much for Evans and Luka?
