Indiana State's Robbie Avila, a 6-foot-10 sophomore center who averaged 17.4 points as one of the breakout stars of the college basketball season, entered the NCAA transfer portal after the Sycamores finished 32-7 with an NIT finals appearance.
Take a look at some of Robbie Avila's best plays of the season at Indiana State as he entered the transfer portal on Tuesday. Avila, a 6-foot-10 sophomore center, averaged 17.4 points and 4.1 assists for Indiana State this season, earning first-team All-Missouri Valley honors.
Sources told ESPN that Avila is a strong favorite to follow former ISU coach Josh Schertz to Saint Louis, where Schertz was hired in the wake of ISU's regular-season Missouri Valley title and a run to the NIT Finals. Avila's portal entry is marked by a red exclamation point, which means not to reach out to him, a sign that he's already made up his mind on his destination.Indiana State went 32-7 last season and was widely considered one of the biggest snubs from the NCAA tournament. It earned a No. 1 seed in the NIT and beat SMU, Minnesota, Cincinnati and Utah in the NIT, before falling to Seton Hall in the final.
Avila is one of eight Indiana State basketball players to enter the portal in the past two days, which includes the team's five leading scorers. There's a chance many of the five end up following Schertz to Saint Louis, although none have marked their portal entry with requests not to contact.Avila is from Lake Forest, Illinois, and shows an uncanny feel and touch for the game.
