"The kid grows every day. He keeps getting better and better... He just looks confident. He does the right things every day. He's a true pro at a young age. You always say, 'I wish every kid was like that.'

"He prepares himself. He comes to practice, he's prepared for practice. He comes early in the morning, he's eating the right foods... It probably came from when he was back home, his parents, the way they raised him.

"I can't remember once this year I come after the game and said, 'What was Schneids doing tonight?' I don't remember being upset with his play at any time this year or last year. He's just consistent, doesn't try to do too much... Obviously, really like the kid a lot."
