Bernard took his second official visit to Westwood this past weekend. “This has been a humbling and amazing journey over the last few years,” Bernard said in a press release from Windward School. “I’ve been fortunate to have met some special people who have taught me, mentored me, molded me, and guided me. I would like to thank all the college coaches and schools that believed in me, recruited me, and those who put time and effort into getting to know me and my family. I am excited and honored to continue my education and growth as a basketball player in my hometown at UCLA.” Bernard is the second commitment for Steve Alford along with four-star guard David Singleton.
