<a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dai-dai-ames-30867/">Darrin ‘Dai Dai’ Ames</a> is the No. 60 ranked player in the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-player/basketball/2023/">2023 On3 Consensus</a>. The 6-foot-1 point guard is averaging 16.9 points, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game playing for the Mac Irvin Fire on <a href="https://nikeeyb.com/">Nike’s EYBL Circuit</a>.



Throughout the process, Ames claimed offers from Kansas State, Notre Dame, Marquette, Michigan State, Maryland, LSU, and others.



<h2 id="h-the-scoop">The scoop</h2>



Despite Ames being a featured player, and having a lot of success on the EYBL, his was relatively quiet recruitment. As you know, in this space, we like to follow the visits. Ames has taken one official visit to Kansas State.



Jerome Tang has been very active on the recruiting trail, extending offers to players across the landscape. Ames was one of seven point guards to get an offer and the one he gets to commit.



I have set my expert pick into <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dai-dai-ames-30867/recruiting/125599/rpm/">On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM)</a> for Dae Dae Ames to commit to Kansas State. I placed my confidence at 75 percent. With my expert pick, On3’s RPM gives Kansas State a 95.3-percent chance to land Ames. Marquette is next with a 2.2-percent chance, and Illinois sits third at 1.0-percent.



<h2 id="h-ames-s-on3-nil-valuation">Ames’s On3 NIL Valuation</h2>



2023 four-star <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dai-dai-ames-30867/nil/">Dai Dai Ames</a> current <a href="https://www.on3.com/nil/news/about-on3-nil-valuation-per-post-value/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">On3 NIL Valuation</a> is $16,800. <a href="https://www.on3.com/nil/rankings/player/high-school/basketball/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">This valuation ranks Ames 63rd in high school basketball.</a> On3’s algorithm says Ames can make $224 per post value.



The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets the standard market <a target="_blank" href="https://www.on3.com/nil/" rel="noreferrer noopener">NIL</a> value for high school and college-level athletes. A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation, does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a specific moment in time.



The On3 NIL Valuation is comprised of many dynamic data points that focus on three primary categories: social media, athletic performance, and endorsements and collectives.
