July 20, 2021 Trey McGowens admits he rushed to judge Wilhelm Breidenbach when they first took the Nebraska basketball practice court together last month. The freshman forward out of Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei has never really looked the part of an elite prospect, with his lanky frame, shaggy haircut, and beard, and, of course, his signature sports “goggles” he wears on the floor. But once the Huskers got going with their summer workouts, he quickly put those misconceptions to bed. “Wil definitely surprised me,” McGowens said with a laugh. “When I thought of the goggles, I was like, ‘Ahhhh…’ But no, Wil can play. He’s versatile, and he can shoot it as well… He’s in the right place at the right time.”
