Mingo talks Penn State, Wake Forest
In a previous interview with On3, Kayden Mingo discussed both the Nittany Lions and the Demon Deacons.
Penn State: “The visit was excellent overall. The energy at Penn State is second to none. The program is great, I really enjoyed watching their practice. The facilities were beautiful and they really impressed me also. The coaches told me they plan on me coming in and they want me to be their point guard and run the show.”

Wake Forest: “Coach (Steve) Forbes is my guy. He definitely lets his guards go and plays with a lot of freedom. He also definitely has pro experience with some of his guys. The ACC is a really good conference. The way that Coach Forbes lets his guards play and run the team and be the motor of the squad, I like that a lot.”
Mingo played with the PSA Cardinals on Nike’s EYBL Circuit this summer, averaging 12.3 points, 4.2 assists, and 2.1 steals.
