Awesome pick up by the staff. This kid's game really reminds me of Jordan Guest who played for JS at LMU. If he eventually fills the roll for us that Guest did for LMU we will be in great shape! Welcome abord, Robbie! Go Sycamores!

Always nice to land one fellow valley teams are sniffing around. Welcome Robbie!
Was first team all state in several publications last year.
Avg 25 points a game with 11 rebounds.

nice pick up! Reminds me a lot of Nick Hittle, based on his highlight videos
Yes, he’s a nice pick up. No, he doesn’t remind of Hittle. At all. 25/11/3 as a junior. Top 5 player in Illinois. Totally different league.
This cannot be stated enough. Kent State, Milwaukee, Appalachian State, Bradley, Lehigh, DePaul, Cleveland State, Loyola, Richmond and Southern Illinois all wanted him. According to a post on their Rivals board, Purdue inquired around May during the early AAU period. There was also a recruiting article on him from the Summer where Belmont, Miami (OH), Virginia Tech, Tulsa, UIC and NIU had also started contacting him.

Yes! I wanted this kid bad, didn't want to say anything and jinx it. Welcome aboard Robbie!
A link to a Sept 1st article about someone who isn’t Robbie Avila?

Jason, any idea how many 3 star recruits we have had in the last decade or so? Not expecting a deep dive, just off the top of your head.
I would assume Cooper and Arop prior to Gonzaga.
Coop, Cobie Barnes, Clayton Hughes, Bronson Kessinger, Alex Etherington, Justin Gant and Jake Kitchell on Rivals that I can remember. 247Sports had Cobie, Hankins, Devin Thomas, Deavion Washington and Brenton Scott I'm pretty sure. Arop was a 4-star for Gonzaga.
The issue with the star rankings on the sites is some are done by the national guys and some are done by a state site. Also, if a kid commits early, they won't even put them in the rankings often times. Lastly, the rankings tend to favor kids that are heavily involved in AAU and with the bigger programs so if a kid skips AAU for football conditioning, for example, they are screwed.

I watched 3 of his games on youtube last night. He played pretty good in the Oak Lawn game.
