Looking for new program Dailey entered the transfer portal Friday, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact Bailey averaged 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.3 minutes as a freshman in 2023-24. Dailey will look for a new program after making 32 appearances, including 16 starts, for Oklahoma State.

Leads team off bench Dailey registered 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 75-58 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Dailey came off the bench to lead the Cowboys in scoring, reaching double-figures and playing 20-plus minutes for the third time in four games. It was also the third game in four he made at least two-thirds of his shot attempts while matching a season-high with two three-pointers made. The freshman's recent increased role has coincided with a boost in production as Dailey is averaging 12.8 points and 4.8 rebounds over 23.8 quality minutes per game over the last four.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Career performance Dailey finished with 20 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 84-82 OT loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Dailey played his best game of the season, coming off the bench to post career-highs in minutes play, scoring, field-goals made and shooting percentage. The freshman forward hadn't played more than 20 minutes or scored more than nine points in any of the previous seven games, averaging just 4.9 points over 14.1 minutes during that stretch. However, he earned his stripes with an 8-for-10 performance from the field with the nine rebounds representing a conference best performance and the four assists matching a season-best total. On an Oklahoma State team that's battling to stay out of the cellar in the Big 12, performances like this can help the youngster earn more minutes as the season enters its final stretch.

Moves to bench Saturday Dailey is not in the starting lineup to face Kansas State on Saturday.

Impact Dailey will head to the bench as the Cowboys shake their starring lineup. He hasn't played off the bench since the season opener, where he posted six points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 23 minutes.

JANUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First career double double Dailey ended with 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 79-65 loss to Creighton.

Impact Dailey posted his first career double double in the losing effort with the 11 boards serving as a season-high for the youngster. The star freshman has earned significant minutes this season for the Cowboys and has rewarded the team with an average 13 points and 8.7 boards in 25.7 minutes over his last three contests.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Records six rebounds Dailey logged nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across his 26 minutes during Oklahoma State's 85-70 win Sunday against Sam Houston.

Impact At 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds, Dailey should have no problem logging rebounds, especially considering Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boynton is expected to use the freshman as a small-ball center for much across their newest season. Both worked well together with Team USA at the FIBA U18 Americans and FIBA U19 World Cup. Boynton has rewarded Dailey with significant opportunities early, and they are likely to be more normal than not despite his current college inexperience.

Expected to see time at center Dailey is expected to play some "small ball" center this upcoming season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Head coach Mike Boynton said he expects Dailey to feature as a small ball center this season, a promising sign that the freshman may see a decent playing time this season. The 6-foot-8-inch forward, a true freshman out of IMG Academy, has a chance to play small forward, power forward and center this season. How he fares at the beginning of the season may determine where he ends up spending the most time.
