This is big. Not just big as in big man on the basketball court. But also recruiting rankings big for Fred Hoiberg and his team.
On Thursday afternoon the Huskers picked up Wilhelm Briedenbach from Santa Ana, California. The 6’9” center is a four star prospect who is currently ranked by ESPN as the #53 best recruit in the country for 2021 and 247 has him ranked at #92.
ESPN 100 senior Wilhelm Breidenbach just committed to Nebraska. No. 53-ranked player in 2021 -- first top-100 high school recruit of the Fred Hoiberg era in Lincoln.
