Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila is finalizing a deal to play for TCU this season, sources told ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Avila was granted a preliminary injunction last week for a fifth year of eligibility, but Saint Louis was denied a request to exceed its 15-player roster limit. Avila ultimately pivoted and entered the transfer portal.
The 23-year-old was the Atlantic 10 player of the year during the 2025-26 season, averaging 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game for Saint Louis. Avila helped lead the Billikens to a blowout win over Georgia in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before losing to national champion Michigan in the round of 32.
