Fairleigh Dickinson University
Teaneck, NJ
Originally from Stillwater H.S.
Stillwater, OK
Averaged 12 ppg and 7 apg
in high school. Had no family. Bernell was a ward of the courts in
Oklahoma. He lived in a rooming house with other kids of similar
background while attending high school. His only offer was a partial
scholarship to a junior college in Oklahoma. A local business man
(Toby Angell) heard Bob Gottlieb
on the Greg Swaim Radio Show in Oklahoma talking about the Branch
West Recruiting Assistance Service. He had attended a number of
Stillwater H.S.'s games and really came to admire the young man and
when he learned of his family and living situation, he decided to
try and help and retained BG to assist in Bernell's recruitment to
college. Not only is Bernell an excellent player at Fairleigh
Dickiinson, but he is a superb young man who is on schedule to
graduate with his class next year. He has been the
starting point guard since his Sophmore year and is an integral part
of the program
