People do forget that during/after the Paulus era that dukes recruiting had slacked off a bit. They had a bad stigma on the aau circuit and elite guys were spurning duke. Singler was the only top 5/10 player they got for a few years. Then USA and Kyrie Irving happened and duke gets as many elite players as any program besides Kentucky.

And you can see the effect it has had on UNC. They were pretty damn dominant while Duke's recruiting was Tubby Smith era Kentucky like. Now Duke has been pulling in top 3 classes and UNC has been pretty meh.
