Amherst (VA) star ATH Peter Rose took about a month-and-a-half to make his decision after announcing that his two finalists were Virginia and Virginia Tech.

Rose had two key visits in the month of June – a trip to Virginia Tech’s camp on the 9th and to UVa on the 16th. Virginia Tech was the clear leader after the first trip, but Virginia impressed the following weekend.
