Sources told ESPN that Avila's portal entry is marked by a red exclamation point, which means not to reach out to him, and is a sign that he has already made a decision.
Avila averaged 17.4 points and 4.1 assists for Indiana State this season and quickly gained a national following, receiving the nickname "Cream Abdul-Jabbar."
Although the Sycamores lost 79-77 to Seton Hall in the championship game last week, the team earned the No. 1 seed in the NIT. Many people believed ISU was snubbed from the NCAA tournament.
A total of eight Indiana State basketball players have entered the portal in the past two days, including the team's five leading scorers.
