This is a pretty darn good assessment and rationale where we are vs. where we could be.  My answer to why our roster looks more like a yr 3 than a yr 5 roster is pretty much - HCDB gambled and lost on winning early (i.e. riding the Dungey wave).   I think he rode the wave of ED with an arrogant notion he might be circumvent the rebuilding process and simply lost.  All signs looked like he could do it through year 3 (track record at other schools, flashes of brilliance against VT, Clemson and the 10 win season).

I think HCDB has been humbled, he knows he made mistakes including overplaying when the change would really occur.  Sustained success takes longer to accomplish in a P5 conference than a G5.  However, based on the coaching moves last year, the talent of the underclassmen playing this season combined with the class coming in, it is finally starting to look like a coach with a plan.  Hopefully, the program holds onto the incoming class and those underclassmen become upper classmen.
