Jeff Capel ain't...wait for it...Johnny Dawkins. JD is light years closer to coach K than Jeff ever was or is. Not to mention recruiting straight up (i.e. going after Blake Griffin) is not the same as going after a recruit after his future coach leaves the school, and one of your best friend's is hired to replace him. I could elaborate, but I don't really think I need to.
A) obviously not every Duke fan expects him to do that. you are arguing with one who does not expect him to do that.
B) There are not only two options as you suggest: 1) recruit miles or 2) coax him to go back to stanford. He could also 3) sit back and do nothing while letting Johnny give it a go at re-recruiting him, which is what I believe he will do. (Then if johnny is unsuccessful he can go after him).
For the record, I am pretty to very confident that we (Duke) will get Miles.
