Robbie Avila has become the face of Saint Louis basketball after following head coach Josh Schertz from Indiana State. A product of Oak Forest High School in Oak Forest, Illinois, Avila became his school's all-time leading scorer while averaging 23.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.1 steals, and two blocks as a senior, leading the Bengals to a 25-8 record. He committed to Indiana State over offers from Loyola Chicago, Richmond, and others, and quickly made his mark. As a freshman, Avila averaged 10.7 points and four rebounds, earning MVC All-Freshman Team honors. His sophomore season was a breakthrough: he averaged 17.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists while helping lead the Sycamores to a 32-7 record and an NIT final appearance, earning first-team All-MVC and Lou Henson All-America honors. When Schertz left for Saint Louis, Avila followed, transferring in April 2024. He earned second-team All-Atlantic 10 honors in 2024-25, averaging 17.3 points and 6.9 rebounds. The 6-foot-10 center returned for his senior season in 2025-26 as the Billikens' anchor.
