Ohio State's highest-rated men's basketball recruits in the class of 2010 could go up against each other Jan. 23 in Value City Arena.

Northland, led by Ohio Mr. Basketball Jared Sullinger, has signed to play in the Scholastic Play by Play Classic. So has Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne, Ind., which features DeShaun Thomas, who has a chance to become Indiana's career high school scoring leader.

Northland and Luers are defending state champions. The event promoter has not announced the matchups for the teams involved but is expected to pit the two against each other. ESPN could televise the game.

Sullinger and Thomas are ranked among the top 10 recruits nationally in 2010 by ESPN.com and Scout.com.
