Robert Brown is a Hokie

From the Orlando Sentinel:

Diana Neal, coach of the Showtime Ballers/Florida Assault travel team, reports that Rob Brown, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard heading into his junior year at Clermont East Ridge, orally committed Monday to Virginia Tech.

Brown, who averaged 20 points and shot over 45-percent from 3-point range as a sophomore, is the first commit in the Class of 2011 for the Hokies.

Rivals, which confirmed the commitment, ranks Brown as the No. 3 rising junior in Florida behind Winter Park's Austin Rivers, who committed to Florida following his freshman season, and Dr. Phillips' Shane Larkin, who is undecided.
