Ames scored 5.2 ppg and dished out 2 apg in just over 20 minutes per game with the Wildcats. Ames was ranked #66 in the 2023 recruiting class (4 spots behind Elijah Gertrude) and has three years of eligibility. UVa has now added three former top-100 players to the roster via the transfer portal, and Ames takes their last open scholarship.
