One official visitor was on campus last weekend, and it was outstanding North Hall (Gainesville, GA) tailback T.J. Pitts . According to North Hall coach Bob Christmas, his star 5-10, 195-pound back had a successful visit.

“He had a great visit,” Christmas said. “He really liked the players and the coaches to. He told me he really liked the players. He enjoyed spending time a lot of time with [Cedric] Peerman and he was hosted by Marques Hagans.”

Before Pitts left campus on Sunday, he met with Head Coach Al Groh. It was then that Groh informed Pitts that, while he still had an offer, he would have to attend Hargrave Military Academy first if he decided on Virginia. Coach Christmas says that the Cavaliers staff has talked about prep school before, so it was not a surprise.

“Coach Groh said they’d like for him to go to prep school first,” Christmas said. “He said that T.J. has got an offer and they want him but they took his SAT and grades to the Dean and they’d like for him to go to Hargrave. They’ve talked about this to us before, but they wanted to take it to the Dean first.”
