Virginia Tech has two four-star hard commits in the 2025 recruiting class and Kayden Mingo would be a huge addition. Virginia Tech's two four-star hard commits are 6-foot-9 Center Christian Gurdak and 6-foot-7 Power Forward Sincere Jones. Gurdak, from Gonzaga College High School, is graded a 90 by 247 Sports, and Jones is also rated a 90, meaning that if Virginia Tech landed Mingo, he would be the highest-rated commit in the class of 2025 for the Hokies.

Last season, Mingo shot over 50% from the field and over 40% from 3-point range, all while playing on one of the country's powerhouse teams. Since Mingo is considered a combo guard, he could fit well in Mike Young's offense. Here is what Kayden Mingo had to say about Virginia Tech: "I love Coach Young's system. The ACC is one of the best leagues and Virginia Tech has been winning a lot over the years. I really feel like Coach Young does a good job with his guards having them play on and off the ball. They have great spacing and their play really helps their guards play free and make plays for their teammates."

Adding Kayden Mingo would be a major addition to the class of 2025 Hokies, especially with Kayden Mingo's shooting and ability to play on and off the ball, Mingo could be a great addition for the Hokies if he chooses to commit there.
