No, he isn't. CCC killed him

Uran, Henao's, Thomas, Froome, Wiggo...all developed nicely at Sky though.[/quote]
Libertine quote Sebastián Henao I'll give you, but Sérgio is more or less still where he was when he first came to Europe. Urán was seen as a can't miss prospect, apart from his Lombardia podium in '08 skewing the graph, he's more or less improved similarly from Unibet to Caisse d'Epargne to Sky to OPQS, so how much of the development was due to Sky is difficult to tell.
The Britons, Thomas and Wiggins make sense as they had been under the umbrella of British Cycling run by many of the same people as Sky beforehand, and they've certainly benefited there. Froome didn't develop anything, he just hit up up down down left right left right B A Start before sign-on for stage 9 of the 2011 Vuelta and hasn't looked back since.
Nordhaug, Porte and Swift are guys you could point to who've developed nicely at Sky though.

Kokoso quote Sergio developed anyway, he's much better time trialist now so definitely better than he came to Europe. Rigo got better every year with Sky; maybe he was can't miss prospect (what I'd argue as I don't remember people telling he'll fight for GT podium), but that isn't contradictory to the fact he developed at Sky (with peak at Giro 2013) anyway. And he didn't improve in OPQS last year. I don't see how Swift differs from other Britons, maybe we could count him amongst them too?
Anyway we have quite a few names.

Its not because magnificent Sky's training method, just a regular personal development (maybe they helped Froome a bit, but mainly its because their power of will etc)
edit: Ohh gosh, *** the new quotes
