Considering Michigan State has reached the halfway point of the season, it can be a good time to assess where Mel Tucker is in his first season as the Spartans’ head coach.
Of course, it’s fair to point out that up until this point, Tucker and his staff have needed all of this time to start drawing conclusions about the roster they inherited back when Tucker was hired in early February. Although a later start than usual for most first-year coaches, it was expected that Tucker would have spring practice to begin to evaluate his players and have a better understanding of what he had.
