To get better at a position--but particularly at a skill position--requires that you're on the field. For practice & for live games.

I just don't get Ross Apo.

WHO DEY

Nobody ever questioned his athleticism, just his WR skills.

and his mental toughness...

Turning heads with the number of drops?

PharmD

He has the physical tools, but I don't think the mental game ever got there

He was great as a freshman, but after that hit he took in the end zone - I

Riley vs Ross: An interesting study in contrasts

icecougar

3/27/15 12:37pm

Getting lit up on a cross route, causing injury and concussion would be enough

Preppy

Yes, for some. When it comes to the mental makeup of a player there's...

I may be mistaken, but I believe he had ongoing shoulder injuries as well.

yep it was against USU and I never saw the same Ross Apo since then.

i saw it for that stint late in 2011 when Heaps returned for an injured Riley

Y05

3/27/15 2:59pm

It shows that he's athletic, not necessarily a good WR

SUAVO

3/27/15 9:56am

He has NFL talent

BigYfan

3/27/15 9:57am

His finger injury was pretty nasty. Ongoing shoulder issues. Hard to catch balls

BIG XII Coug

3/27/15 10:02am

he had a head injury on a cheap shot as well

BigYfan

3/27/15 10:05am

To merge this with fulano's comment: Injuries can beat the grit out of some

Ross Apo Fr. Yr. was awesome. 9TDs in 2011

Thank you sir. Fixed it.

Part him, part injuries, part system.

CosmoK

3/27/15 9:58am

Part QBs throwing balls into the ground 3 feet in front of him.

DB Cooper

3/27/15 10:00am

That'd be the "system" . . .

CosmoK

3/27/15 10:02am

I don't understand... the system is perfect.... (TIC)

tarzan15

3/27/15 10:15am

almost as good as the ones 3 ft in the ground behind him...

icecougar

3/27/15 1:07pm

Why was it only him?

Ebolarama

3/27/15 3:25pm

He ran too fast for Riley's arm to keep up?

icecougar

3/27/15 6:29pm

riley and stewart and taysom and lark? Probably all their fault.

Ebolarama

3/30/15 9:01am

Some people suck at combines (Tom Brady) but are legit gamers...

Zach Morris

3/27/15 10:00am

Ross had skill but didn't have grit. I know everyone hates that word but that is

fulano

3/27/15 10:00am

too bad we couldn't merge him with Riley...

icecougar

3/27/15 1:10pm

he's a drill boy...just like his buddy heaps. put them in a real game and...

nashty

3/27/15 10:06am

I hope he gets a shot. He has been preparing hard for combines. Injuries.

If our all time leading reciever cant make a team...

It would honestly be the shock of a lifetime. The guy might as well have been

Are you talking about Austin Collie? Pretty sure he had huge impacts in

Yunit

No, Apo.

Ash

He has something in common with the Tin Man

RockyBalboa

3/27/15 11:08am

creaky joints? I guess I do as well then

icecougar

3/27/15 1:12pm

He has WR skills, but DB hands. Maybe he needs to play secondary

He was never the same after that hit against Utah State

Great athlete. Below average football player.

Great athleticism, poor WR skills & mental toughness

Biggest Factor was Anae Calling Apo an Idiot

How many reps was he able to do? Tough to get a lot of upper body strength when
