In a year where you can have an unlimited roster, Kirby's handpicked coach signs 10 athletes on national signing day. A full class is 25.

Let that sink in. You have no roster size limits and choose to sign 10 players, only 4 on defense, and none out of your own backyard. Kliff Kingsbury's biggest weakness was his recruiting and that was let led to his eventually firing.

I must assume Wells' will add a few from transfers but nowhere near the remaining 15 open spots. Kirby has seen this show before knowing the ending, but still allows it to happen. A change was needed, and change is still needed.
