The University of Kentucky basketball program made an inquiry regarding standout forward Robbie Avila, but the player has decided to remain with the Saint Louis Billikens, according to a report from SB Nation.

Avila, who has emerged as one of college basketball's most recognizable talents, drew interest from the Wildcats' coaching staff. However, the forward has opted to continue his collegiate career at Saint Louis University rather than enter the transfer portal for a move to the SEC powerhouse.

The decision keeps Avila in a Billikens uniform for the upcoming season, where he will look to build on his strong performances that have made him a fan favorite and a notable figure in the college game.
