Her jump shot is still developing. So is her free-throw shooting.

Yet Butler junior point guard Olivia Bresnahan is fourth in Butler County in scoring, averaging 17.5 points per game, and is drawing the attention of Division I basketball programs from across the country.

And those recruiters couldn't care less about her scoring ability.

"That's not what they're interested in. That's not what she's going to be doing at the next level,"Butler coach Dorothea Epps said.

It's everything else the 5-foot-11 Bresnahan brings to the court that has major college programs frothing at the mouth.

More than 20 Division I recruiters have come to watch her play this season. Vanderbilt, where Slippery Rock High graduate and scoring record holder Jence Rhoads plays, already has offered her a full scholarship.

Bresnahan has made or is planning to make unofficial visits to Connecticut, Vanderbilt and Duquesne.

Pitt, Maryland, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Akron, Delaware, Massachusetts — the list of suitors paying visits to Butler goes on and on.

"It's been pretty cool, getting so many letters every day,"Bresnahan said. "There's 15 to 20 sometimes.

"Right now, I'm just having fun with it. I'm not planning on signing with anybody until just before my senior season. There's a lot of things to sort through. It's a big decision, where I'm going to college, and I'm going to take my time making it."

Bresnahan isn't sure what she wants to study in college yet. After all, she has a year and a half of high school to get through.

She's carrying a 3.9 grade point average, which doesn't hurt her in recruiters' eyes.

Bresnahan scored 15 points, had nine steals and seven assists in Tuesday's win over Seneca Valley. That's a typical night at the office for her.

She had 15 points, 10 steals, eight assists and seven rebounds in a win over a New Jersey opponent at a holiday tournament in Maryland recently.

"Olivia is the best player in the WPIAL,"Seneca Valley coach Kelly Mathews said. "She makes everybody on the court with her better.

"She's the kind of kid you can't even dislike as an opponent because she's just a nice person who works hard and respects herself, the opposition and the game."

Bresnahan jumps center for Butler. At times, she posts up inside, guards the opponent's best player, brings the ball up the floor, runs the offense and attacks the basket.

"Her floor game is so versatile and we use her in a lot of ways that a major college team won't have to,"Epps said. "So many passes she makes now that go unnoticed ... players will catch and finish at the next level."

Bresnahan's quickness and arm extension on defense, coupled with on-court anticipation, create handfuls of steals each game.

Bresnahan struggled in the free-throw shooting department last year. While she's improved this season, she's still inconsistent.

"I know I have to get better at foul shooting,"Bresnahan admits. "My jumper needs to be more consistent, too."

"The big thing is she's making (foul) shots at the end of games when we need them,"Epps said. "That's important because the ball is going to be in her hands."

Bresnahan has spoken with Rhoads, a former AAUsummer basketball teammate, and the coaches of that team, Posey and Melinda Rhoads.

"They've told me not to be overwhelmed by the process, just to enjoy it,"Bresnahan said. "I don't worry about who might be in the stands or coming to talk to me. I just go out and play."
