Recruiting Brothers/HS Teammates? Topic

I am wondering if anyone has ever seen a team recruit two kids from the same high school? And furthermore, what about two brothers?

When I was at Suffolk D3, I had two kids from the same city before, but different high schools.

Central Arkansas, currently in D2 Allen, has not only two players on its team from the same high school - one year apart - but they are also brothers. More amazingly, they were recruited by two different coaches. Behold Alfredo and Gustavo, the Greco brothers:

Now, has anyone else seen this before or has tried to recruit two kids from the same high school?

That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time on here.

They play on the same club team, not the same high school.  And since HD only has like 10 Italian names, if that, it's unlikely they are brothers, whatever that would mean.

Pretty neat coincidence.

When it comes to high schools do the schools actually have a set offense/defense for every player generated from there, or is it randomized every time?  Do high school coaches names remain constant?  Not that it really matters, just something that popped into my mind.  I guess keeping a list of JUCO O/D could be minimally useful though.

I actually recruited a guys in Allen who was an international.  a season or 2 later I saw i  another guy from the same town and same last name, and I remember thinking, they must be brothers.  But the second guy wasnt good enough for me to recruit.  But it would have been cool.
