"I will take two visits in February: The North Carolina at Duke game and then Arizona at Kansas State," Ament said. "I'm going to try and squeeze in a Kentucky visit as well. I want to play for a coach and staff I can trust. A program's plan for me and for other players they are recruiting is important. How they value me as a player and person is most important to me."
