This paragraph from that SI article is pretty amazing:
“It's really difficult to get a group of guys that play basketball to be about something bigger than yourself,” Williamson said of the 2017–18 team. “We wanted to win for the sake of the team, but you also wanted to win because you wanted your brothers to experience that winning with you. That’s something I’ll never forget.”
A quote like that from a player has to have a huge effect on recruiting.

A quote like that from a player has to have a huge effect on recruiting.
“During the recruiting process I remember being up in [Moser’s] office and him saying, ‘we’re just a big man away from really taking this thing off the ground and getting rolling and we think you can come in and help us right away,’ ” Krutwig recalls. “He couldn’t have been more right.”
I promised JCT I would try to keep my posts PG-13, so I won't succumb to the temptation of putting a salacious spin on the second half of Porter Jacket's bricklaying analogy.
