Not with the portal and two full cycles passed it isn't. The fact of the matter is recruiting got even worse once he passed away. You can literally bring in an entirely new team every offseason if you want to now. Essentially what Ole Miss does almost. And what Lebby did this year. There were players like Makhai Polk and Gardner Minchew that wanted to play for Leach because he was a HOF coach. No one wanted to play for Kevin Barbay because he sucked and they had to lie to keep Leach's players around to play for the guy.
