Men’s college basketball breakout Robbie Avila gave an understandable reason for transferring to St. Louis

Robbie Avila has picked his new team, and it makes a ton of sense as to why.

One of this past men’s college basketball season’s breakout stars has found a new team.

Former Indiana State center Robbie Avila, the man with the best nicknames in the game, shared with The Field of 68 on Saturday that he’ll be following coach Josh Schertz to St. Louis to join the Billikens this upcoming season as a transfer.

Avila said he got attention from Power 5 schools, but he chose to stick with the coach he played for these past few seasons at Indiana State.

It’s a very understandable decision for Avila, as he’ll be joining a coach he’s got intense familiarity with as he tries to improve his game and perhaps make it at the NBA level one day.

St. Louis will absolutely benefit from adding one of the real mid-major stars from this past year, as we won’t be shocked if the Billikens go dancing next spring in 2025’s March Madness.

We’re very excited to see what’s next for Avila as his college basketball legend will grow in the Show Me State.
