To be fair, there's something of a fashion for seeing bounteous promise in every youthful rider who wins a few minor races.
There isn't room at the top for all of them.

Or indeed for experienced pros who went to seek further development, only to find there was no bounty to be had.

Are Sky doing anything to address Sean Yates' criticisms that none of their DS' s have the necessary competency to direct a GC win ? Or, it seems, a classics win.

Something under-the-radar (and probably very likely nothing more that a footnote for many here) Topsport Vlaanderen had a bit of a sale:
4 of their riders are going to World Tour teams (Lotto, the-other-Lotto, Quickstep and Giant) and 2 other riders are going to Cofidis
Clearly a signal that they had developed some nice riders (which their UCI-status as no. 1 ranked team on the "Europe Tour" confirms).
Tom Van Asbroeck is currently looking like the biggest potential, but who knows how they will have developed 2-3 years down the line

Yes they are. Despite what was said earlier, they have only signed a single African rider so far (Natnael Berhane from Europcar), and every one of their rather extensive list of signings has been white European. You can say what you like about experience leading talent but it's looking more and more like they are simply chasing immediate results like every other team. It wasn't supposed to be like that.
