Schneider signs in Portugal

Ryan Schneider's surge in his final year at Marist propelled the forward to a professional contract. He signed with CAB Madeira in Portugal.
Schneider has said in the past that he never expected to play professionally, but a strong senior campaign led to international interest.
Schneider joins former Marist teammate Jared Jordan in European basketball. Schneider served his transfer year from Vermont during Jordan's senior season.
Schneider saw limited action under Matt Brady after transferring from Vermont, but his role increased dramatically with Chuck Martin.
The Yorktown Heights native led the MAAC in most major categories, earning second-team All-MAAC honors. Had Marist not finished 10th in the MAAC, he likely would have been a first teamer.
