Stephen R. Sylvanie | USA TODAY Sports

Kansas State’s Dai Dai Ames will enter his name into the transfer portal.

Ames spent one season in Manhattan as a freshman this past year. In that time, he appeared in 31 games for the Wildcats, including starts in just over half of those with 16.

While with K-State, Ames averaged 5.2 points, a pair of assists, and 1.1 rebounds. He did so while shooting 35.3% from the field and 32.9% from three.

Ames had several decent outings while with the Wildcats this last season. His best turned out to be the final one, though, after scoring 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 from three) with five assists and three rebounds in a 91-82 loss to Iowa in the opening round of the NIT.

Ames, a native of Chicago, played high school basketball at Kenwood Academy. He was a four-star prospect there as the No. 68 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also rated as a Top-15 PG in the class and the No. 2 player out of Illinois behind only PG Jeremy Fears (Michigan State).
