Northeast Spotlight: Four commitment predictions

Four-star 2025 DB Byron Baldwin decommitted from Indiana. What could be next for him and others in the Northeast?

While the confidence is pretty high in my prediction for Coke, I would say my current pick for Gildea is less so, but more based on a gut feeling as of right now. He will be back at Rutgers this weekend — a program that has offered and one that he's already visited multiple times. This Saturday will mark at least Gildea's fourth trip to Piscataway.

Gildea plays his prep ball nearby at The Hun School of Princeton in New Jersey, and the Scarlet Knights and head coach Greg Schiano certainly want to keep the top talent in the state home. Gildea also recently told Rivals that Rutgers was one of the top schools for him as of right now.

He has additional offers from Boston College, Pittsburgh, South Florida, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. He also took visits this fall to Michigan and Michigan State. More schools are likely to get involved as his recruitment progresses, and again, things can always change, but I expect Rutgers to remain toward the top of the list throughout.
