They do lose Alexander for next year who I don't imagine would be easily replaceable.

What if the Cajuns can't maintain there success? What if JMU has a great year again and then a down year when you want to play them? It is always a risk/reward when scheduling. I doubt JMU just falls off the face of the softball world. Coach Glasco has teamed up with Brian to build a schedule with teams who have been relevant, not teams who might not be relevant. When you schedule out teams you do it based on previous history. In baseball and softball we have scheduled teams that we figured would be strong rpi games only to see the teams we scheduled have a bad year. Smart scheduling would entail playing teams close in the area and catching JMU on the back end. Kind of like how we did with Campbell a few years ago. The same can be done when JMU is in the south they can piggy back some games with us. Most big schools are scared to play the Cajuns and Coach Glasco has proven time and time again the Cajuns will go and meet any team.
There should be teams closer than 1000 miles that you take risks on. You are acting like travel plays no role in scheduling. If you are scheduling a team 1000 miles away, it better be a pretty sure thing RPI wise. I know Brian is smart enough to know this and I am very glad that Coach buzzed his number rather than yours for advice on scheduling.
Also, I hope Coach never consults you on issues of RS either. He needs to keep you on this board and as far away from the coaches and players as possible.
This thread was meant to wish James Madison well in Oklahoma City and to request them on the Cajun schedule in the near future. I look forward to seeing what they do with Oklahoma and Georgia/Oklahoma State. I think I've made it clear I don't want to play them next season.
Would take a really terrible recruiter not to be able to take advantage after a trip to WCWS
I’m not a huge softball follower but even I know JMU is relevant In the softball world. I’m not convinced talent was our issue after Deggs left. If he would have stayed I think we would have capitalized, not to say JMU won’t lose their head recruiter after this run also.
