After going more than four months without receiving a commitment, Arizona State broke a drought last week when former Alabama quarterback and former five-star recruit Blake Barnett announced his commitment to the Sun Devils. Barnett's announcement sets the stage for this week's edition of the 'Sun Devil Source Report' podcast as hosts Kerry Crowley and Chris Karpman provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact Barnett's transfer has on ASU's program. Chris provides a detailed look at Barnett's skill set as the pair breaks down how his commitment shakes up a crowded quarterback depth chart for the Sun Devils. After discussing Barnett's addition to ASU's Class of 2017, Kerry and Chris discuss the departure of wide receivers coach Jay Norvell, who left to become the head coach at Nevada. Kerry and Chris float prospective names for the coaching vacancy at ASU, and discuss the immediate impact Norvell's loss has on ASU's recruiting situation. The episode concludes with a look at ASU's basketball program, which suffered a significant loss Monday in the form of freshman wing Sam Cunliffe. Cunliffe's decision to leave the program after just 10 games puts the Sun Devils in a challenging position moving forward, and Kerry and Chris examine the short and long-term ramifications of Cunliffe's decision to depart from Tempe.
