By Former NCAA tournament star Robbie Avila will return to college basketball this season, just not with the team everyone expected. After being blocked from returning to St. Louis, Avila is reportedly finalizing a deal to join TCU, according to Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman.
The report comes a week after Avila was granted a fifth year of college eligibility.
