UVA's heightened activity in the transfer portal continues. Dai Dai Ames, a freshman guard transfer from Kansas State, is reportedly taking an official visit to Virginia starting Monday, as reported by Josh Burton of Locker Room Access on Monday afternoon.

#UVA is scheduled to host Kansas State transfer Dai Dai Ames today. 6’1” guard with 3 seasons to play.

A 6'1" guard from Chicago, Illinois, Ames appeared in 31 games as a true freshman this season at Kansas State, including 16 starts. In a little over 20 minutes played per game, Ames averaged 5.2 points and 2.0 assists per game and shot 32.9% from three on 2.3 attempts. Ames started the last 13 games of the season and played his best basketball down the stretch, scoring in double figures in three of the last five games.

In what was ultimately his final game as a Wildcat, Ames scored a season-high 16 points and dished out five assists against Iowa in the NIT. He made six of his eight field goal attempts and knocked down four of his five threes. Though his season-long numbers weren't gaudy due to limited playing time as a true freshman, his strong play late in the season when his minutes increased suggests a very bright future. Ames is in the transfer portal with three years of eligibility remaining.
