recruiting question for stallion and others

I guess it was the recruiting class of feb 03 that everyone was crazy about? What's the opinion of general recruiting for Gregg/Rossley/Cavan/Bennett. Which coach recruited the best classes (knowing that the Pye model killed us, so we are two steps behind regardless)? I mean I hear Bennett's early classes were good, so is it just bad coaching on game day? I don't follow recruiting close enough to be an authority. I just know what I am seeing on game day. Thoughts?
