[B][I]in the future Scheyer should be able to take advantage of the talent he's accumulated and gather some trophies. The guy can recruit.[/I][/B]

I feel you are giving Scheyer too much respect here. It's the brand Duke that can recruit. These recruits are sold on the fact, by the name Duke, that they will end up in the NBA just by putting on that Duke uniform. Scheyer hasn't won squat since taking over for K except recruiting wars that he has done very little in terms of development. His players get exponentially better when they are coached in the NBA - yes, I would expect all to improve in the league, but the UConn players seem to be more prepared physically as well as mentally.  
I am no longer scared/in awe of the Duke program. UConn has more (6 vs 5) and I feel that as long as Dan Hurley and his staff are around the propensity for UConn to win NCs  is much higher than Duke. With Flagg et al this year, if Duke fails to appear in the final 4, it will be viewed as an epic failure. Scheyer is just not a very good game coach.
