Jerome Tang and the Kansas State men’s basketball team received some very welcome news yesterday, when 4-star guard Darren ‘Dai Dai’ Ames announced his commitment to the Wildcats. Ames, a 6’1 point-guard out of Chicago, is the first commit to the 2023 recruiting class, and just the second high school commit landed by Tang and his new staff in Manhattan. Ames is a consensus Top 60 recruit for the class, and the highest rated recruit to commit to the program since Wally Judge. 247’s recruiting analyst compared him to Baylor’s LJ Cryer.
