It's going to be a very tough decision for Robert Rothbart, a 7-foot-1, 205-pound center from Natomas High School in Sacramento, Calif. Rothbart has seen a big name school drop out and one make an attempt to recruit him.

"Virginia has called a couple of times," said Robert's mom, Nada Rothbart. "And Stanford decided not to wait any longer so they took another player. So Stanford is out of the recruiting with Robert."

Rothbart still has three other high major programs recruiting him hard. "Robert still is very much interested in Indiana, California, and Arizona," she said. "But I don't know right now what school he would choose. They are all great schools and Robert seems to like them all equally right now."

Rothbart was not available for comment on Sunday night. "He was at a basketball tournament in Iowa this past weekend," Nada stated. "But he will be back later tonight."

When could a decision come? "I really don't know," she said. "He had four visits to four great schools. They were all nice visits and he had a positive experience at all of them. He is going to have a tough decision to make. Right now it looks like he would choose between the three schools I mentioned. I am not sure though which one he would choose."

Rothbart is rated the 145th best player in the 2004 class in the Rivals150.
