Ament listed the Wildcats as one of his top 11 teams, however, as he begins to figure out his next destination, K-State will likely not be in play. He was slated to tour Kansas State on Feb. 11 and attend the Wildcats' home game against Arizona.
His top 11 consists of Duke, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas State, Georgetown, Louisville, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Texas, BYU, and Alabama.
Duke continues to be a favor to land another top-five talented power forward, while the Wildcats remain on the back burner during this recruiting cycle. They have not signed a player and have only had one commit in the 2025 class. They will likely rely on the transfer portal again after picking up 10 new players this past off-season.
