An extended “dead” period in NCAA recruiting during the covid-19 shutdown did not stand in the way of the Western PA Bruins girls AAU basketball program.

The Bruins continue to be a prime target for Division I college coaches who know where to take their scholarship offers.

Those offers have been coming in at a torrid pace.

Here are the players and their most recent offers:

• Ashleigh Connor (Jr., Mt. Lebanon) — Cleveland State, Oakland.

• Kaili Doctor (So., Pine-Richland) — Marshall.

• Eve Fiala (So., Indiana) — Minnesota.
