Dayton, Ohio's Brandie Hoskins is continuing her Pro Basketball career in Romania. A club called SCM Craiova announced the addition of Hoskins in late September 2011. The former Buckeye arrived to Romania with prior international experience in the countries of Israel, Greece, Ukraine, and most recently Portugal where she helped lead her team to the playoffs last season.

#1 in Romania - For years we have believed that if there was one former Lady Buckeye who should be in the WNBA right now, it is Brandie Hoskins! The former McDonald's All-American and All-Big Ten performer is a complete basketball player. She can score from anywhere on the court, has great floor vision to find teammates, plays D & also rebounds! Much like a Ron Lewis or Je'Kel Foster, we think of Hoskins as a 'gamer', meaning that Brandie will be an impact player on the court, no matter the caliber or level of play/players.

It certainly did not take long for Hoskins to start filling up the nets in Romania. Craiova opened the season with three straight victories. In those games, Hoskins scored 15 points in game one and then she erupted for 23 points & 32 points in games two & three! Her 32 point performance earned a MVP award for that round of league play (link).

After five games, Hoskins currently ranked as the #1 scorer in Romania (Craiova is 4-1). You can follow Brandie Hoskins' stats at Romanian Basketball website TotalBaschet (link)
