College Basketball Fan Favorite Robbie Avila Hits The Transfer Portal

Indiana State star Robbie Avila is on the move.

The talented big man for the Sycamores, who is known by fans as Cream Abdul-Jabbar, had a dominant season for ISU this year, and ended the year as the runner-ups of the NIT.

Fans were sorely disappointed by ISU not making the NCAA Tournament because spectators wanted to see Avila battle it out against major competition.

They might finally get the chance to on a regular basis.

Robbie Avila is transferring.

Avila is officially in the transfer portal after averaging 17.4 points per game, 6.6 rebounds per game, 4.1 assists per game and shooting 53.6% from the field this season, according to Pete Thamel.

There is no doubt that plenty of major programs will be picking up the phone and calling him. That's a guarantee you can take to the bank.

Generally speaking, transfer news isn't a huge deal, unless it happens at the very top level. At this point, transferring is just the norm.

However, it's a bit different with Avila. He's become an absolute star in the basketball world on social media. He looks like a complete dork with his glasses, doesn't appear athletic at all, isn't what you think of when you picture a great center but he just puts up numbers.

The man is a wrecking ball for opposing defenses.

Not only is he a big body on the court, but he's also silky smooth from deep. Essentially, he's just like every center you created on college basketball video games back in the day.

Now, he's looking for a new team, and for the sake of college basketball, I hope he lands on a major power that regularly plays on national TV.

We'll have to wait to see where he lands, but I have no doubt he'll put on a show at his next destination.
