The biggest problem with BG is his inability to recruit top talent at the ACC level. If GT had a real scoring threat in the low post this year, this team would have been very, very good. We had good rebounding but Jacobs was the only true scorer in the paint. With MGH at PG, we had best scorers on the floor and good strength and size at the position but he lacked true PG quickness. He was well above average at PG overall which was not his natural position, and I am glad he played so well there for us. He was also good at the free throw line which was very important at the end of tight games. Without enough top players, BG will never be in the top tier of the league and so far he hasn't been very good at recruiting. Great players can make up a lot for average coaching. Look at Duke this year. They were one or two really good players short of being exceptional again even with a HOF coach, but they lacked one or two inside scorers to complement the team. We had maybe two or three ACC caliber players on the floor at any one time but we needed two or three more to be really competitive. Relying on transfers will catch up with us at some point. It might be next year unless some surprises pop up.
