Little has been said about the 2010 Ohio State women’s basketball class, but OSU made quite a catch.

Coach Jim Foster has made a habit of recruiting players that complement the team perfectly while recruiting both highly touted and predominantly unknown players.

His recruiting success and judgment of players is hard to refute since he came to OSU eight years ago. His OSU resume already includes six Big Ten regular season titles, two trips to the Sweet Sixteen and seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances.

Four seniors leave the team after this season, but every starter will return.

Amy Scullion: Salem, Ohio (Salem H.S.)
Scullion is ranked as the No. 43 recruit in the nation by ESPN with a grade of 95 out of 99.
She is ranked No. 2 at her position by the Collegiate Girl’s Basketball Report, a highly regarded National Scouting Service for women’s basketball. The Report also called Scullion a player who possesses athleticism that OSU has yet to see.

Standing 6 feet tall and being very athletic made Scallion a multi-sport player. She plays volleyball as well as basketball and most say that volleyball is actually her best sport.

She said she would have played volleyball for Team USA over the summer if she had not chosen to play basketball at OSU.

Scullion told multiple sources that she chose OSU because of the program’s success and how they are seemingly “stockpiling” talent.

Martina Ellerbe: Teaneck, N.J. (St. Mary’s H.S.)
Ellerbe is ranked as the No. 108 recruit in the nation by ESPN with a grade of 93 out of 99. ESPN classifies her as a player who could contribute as a freshman and eventually start for a top national program.

She is 6 feet 2 inches tall and classified as a forward. She has the ability to beat women as tall as her off the dribble, much like center Jantel Lavender.

Ellerbe is also a great rebounder with strong hands. In a game against the No. 13 team in New Jersey earlier this season, Ellerbe scored 26 points, grabbed 23 rebounds and blocked six shots.

Her defense is also a great attribute. She has great timing for blocking shots and has quick feet for being as tall as she is, which lets her guard players smaller than her.

Ellerbe is not just a basketball player — she is an excellent student. She is carrying a 3.9 GPA in St. Mary’s advanced studies program and has received various academic athlete honors.

Ashley Adams: Siloam Springs, Ariz. (Siloam Springs H.S.)
Adams is ranked the No. 116 recruit in the nation by ESPN with a grade of 92. She will be able to make immediate contributions as a freshman if needed and has the potential to start for a top tier program, according to ESPN.
Standing 6 feet 5 inches tall makes her the tallest player in this class and the tallest on OSU’s roster next year. She is expected to be a center or a forward at OSU.
Adams is also said to have great vision and an ability to pass the ball very well from the post.
Adams led Siloam Springs to the championship game her junior year while averaging 16 points, eight rebounds and four blocks per game.

Darryce Moore: Youngstown, Ohio (Boardman H.S.)
Moore was given a grade of 89 by ESPN. She is ranked the No. 14 center in the nation by the Collegiate Girls Basketball Report. The report also called Moore a player who has the capability to burst onto the national scene unexpectedly.

She is 6 feet 2 inches tall and very strong in the post, which allows her to get position to get rebounds.

Moore’s brother, J.T. Moore, is in the OSU football recruiting class of 2010 and was the first commitment for the class.
