Yep....I didn't know that but looked it up and was shocked.  On3 gives his NIL a $295,000 valuation and he 377,000 followers on instagram.  His valuation is fourth highest off all high school basketball players

That's just a hypothetical valuation though, right? Unless I'm misunderstanding I don't see anything he'd actually be making money on.

No knock on Matta at all, but if you’re trying to sell the brightness of the future of Butler basketball the visual of 3 guys who look old enough to have signed the Decalaration of Independence is a touch dicey.

That's how I understand it.  It's a valuation, not an estimate of earnings.  Although they would be related.

Yes, hypothetical.

Butler’s only ‘22 commit, Connor Turnbull, an under appreciated 6’10 post player from St Louis, has decommitted. Speculation around here is he goes with Gates to Mizzou. Matta has got a lot of work ahead of him.
