Virginia adds the last piece to its roster with the latest transfer.

Dai Dai Ames, a transfer from Kansas State, has officially joined the Wahoos. Wahoos247 confirms ESPN’s Jeff Borzello’s story that Ames has committed to the Virginia Cavaliers. Last week, Ames paid an official visit to the Hoosiers.

Last season as a true freshman at Kansas State, the 6-foot-1 guard started 16 games out of 31. He averaged 5.2 points and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 32.9% from three on 2.3 attempts and playing approximately 20 minutes per game. Ames started the final 13 games of the season and scored in double figures in three of the last five.

In his final game with the Wildcats, Ames recorded a season-high 16 points and five assists against Iowa in the NIT. He converted six of his eight field goal tries and four of his five three-pointers.
