Carmody's Preseason comments:
“Bernard sat out last year but he worked hard on his game and I expect him to step in and contribute immediately. He proved to be one of our best long-range shooters in practice, but he also has some nice post moves and has a knack for getting to the line. He has been working hard on his dribbling and his shot. Plus he has experience from playing two years at Kentucky, so he will not be in awe when he steps on the floor this season—he understands what it takes to play at the highest level in college and succeed.”
