RIP, Sid. (Just found this)
Sid Catlett, basketball star in ‘greatest high school game ever,’ dies at 69
Sid Catlett, Austin Carr and Collis Jones all came to ND in the same class with Jackie Meehan, John Pleick, Tom Sinnott and Jim Hinga. Lou Somogyi of Blue and Gold magazine picked that class as the second best recruiting class in ND basketball history. Catlett and Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) would meet again twice a year in home and home ND-UCLA games.

Bob Whitmore, Austin Carr, Collis Jones, Adrian Dantley and Monte Williams are all in the Notre Dame basketball Hall-of-Fame.
Good story about recruiting at that time:

That being said , I think the strongest pipeline in DC Basketball history is the Notre Dame College pipeline from DC, for three decades from 1966 to1994. DC Basketball keep Notre Dame in the national spotlight for years. It started with Brian Kelly. Bob Whitmore, Sid Catlett, Collis Jones, Austin Carr, Adrian Dantley. Duck Williams, Tracey Jackson, Cecil Rucker and Monte Williams.
