If you ask me, talking about scheduling differences will get us nowhere. Different coaches have different philosophies in this regard. Given Gallaudet's unique, specialized student pool, I don't necessarily see anything overly wrong with scheduling similar opponents, including Christendom and Maryland Bible. Personally, I'd like to see more specialized universities that share near-identical recruiting challenges on Gallaudet's schedule, such as Yeshiva. 

Bottom line: is the Gallaudet basketball program getting better?

Without doubt.

WIth one of the best recruiting classes in a long time, Coach Barber has an exciting, athletic, and young team on his hands. What's most impressive for me, however, is how his recruits embody academic standards that reflect the new Gallaudet. While I remain unconvinced whether we have enough size to contend in the CAC, I am comforted that we will properly represent Gallaudet and the deaf community on and off the hardwood.
