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.

Since mid-July, several Bruins who double as WPIAL standouts have received numerous opportunities to play at the D-I level.

Here are the players and their most recent offers:
