FWIW, and not sure if this has been mentioned but I just read that Perry has family here that he lived with for a year in middle school. Obviously doesn't hurt.

'17 NV CB Alex Perry (Verbal to ASU)

Yeah I believe they live out in Parker.
What's the news here? I know he attended the BBQ but do we still have a shot to land this kid?
We still have a shot here. He's got family in Colorado and likes it here a lot. Unfortunately, he also has a brother playing for ASU.
Thanks Buffnik, love the quick responses. I know about his brother and father. I guess the dad played at ASU?
Pretty sure his dad went to Nevada (maybe UNLV?). Pops is a surgeon, iirc, but who knows how much CU's medical facilities or academics factor in.
So... either we land Perry and lose out on Falo or vice versa?
Perry and Falo are not tied together. I think maybe you are thinking of Falo and Cotton?
No, I was referring to the fact that Perry has a brother at ASU and Falo's brother plays here. Bad joke.
What is it that they do exactly? I've seen very little of them.
They man up most of the time?
Blitz constantly, leaving DBs on an island with mismatches or too much ground to cover. Philosophy is "sack, turnover or give up a big play".
Yep that's a bad recipe. They should zone behind it or combo it, man one side zone on the other or however you'd wanna set it up. The zone dude can always drop off and jump a route. That's a hard look.

Alex would look great in the black and gold. "The Rise" is real for more than just football victories. Coach Mac emphasizes winning in life and, I think, sincerely means it. If his father is a surgeon, Alex may decide to follow that same pathway. For the football player, Coach Mac's practice schedule is very conducive to taking the right classes and getting the 3.5-3.8 GPA needed to impress an admission committee. The practice schedule is pretty unique and, for the athlete, academic support is rigorous. Other CU football players are already headed that direction, and, I understand, are doing well.

This alex?
If its just those two though the coaches can really roll out the red carpet this time with no game. Halloween in Boulder is also a pretty good time.
Would really ease some defensive concerns to get these two on board as a package. Add in Brian Edwards and Bryce Boyce and we're set in the secondary.
I hope he likes burning couches.
I can't think of a better time to have recruits out on an unofficial visit. Maybe St. Patrick's Day.
Depends. By "burning", do you mean actually setting them on fire, or just observing a burning couch?

Think Boulder has a girlfreind at CU. So partying at CU on Halloween with other CU players that are off too....yeah, some memories will be made and impressions set in stone. Great great news.
