Very few games have been played but what can we surmise from what has been on display to date?
* 6-foot-11 Matt Pollard would have greatly benefited from a using a redshirt season this year but the inability of Andrew Young to transfer in kiboshed that. He needs repetition, repetition, repetition.
* Mike VanKirk's movement still doesn't look like he is 100% healthy -- whether it's a still in recovery situation or what will be his new normal has to be determined.
* Chris Cunningham isn't getting many touches -- 17 shot attempts with some of those being putbacks -- but is also second on the team in turnovers. Gotta get him some stickum for the holidays.
* Staying with the frontcourters, can 6-foot-9 redshirt Frank Rogers play with the physicality needed to match up with next year's MWC opponents?
* Fellow redshirt Jordan Baker is really, really going to help at the two guard next season. The Spartans need a game in-game out scorer who can be counted on to produce a certain number of points. Baker is needed now as Coach Wojcik is having to start some guys who really are MWC backups.
* Jalen James and Rashad Muhammad are the real, if currently inconsistent, deal -- really want to see them in their junior seasons when they should be winning their nightly matchups.
* Can Jaleel Williams turn that corner of being a 15/7 guy every night, with the 15 coming via offensive efficiency?
* If Dylan Alexander continues to advance, he'll be on scholarship in 2014-15.
* Devante Wilson, Isaac Thornton and Brandon Mitchell are so far showing as role players and there is nothing wrong with that because you can't have five guys on the court looking first and foremost for their shot.
