APO upgraded to 4 stars (finally)

I think the only thing that kept him from 4-5 stars, was how small his tiny high school was. The moment he strapped it up against other 4-5 star guys in the US Army All-America week, I think they had no choice but to upgrade him as he's been shining.

Once again, the stars are about exposure as much as they are about talent.

Do you have any links that talk about Apo and Heaps shining?

Is being "ungraded" a good thing? :D



It is good to see him being recognized for what we have known for a while. It is also great to see a player go up in stars after committing to BYU.

I'm not a member, so I can't read the article, but I like the headline. I also didn't know that Apo was going to be here this month.

Can anyone with access tell us if thre is anything in the article?

Here is one that you don't need to be a member on Heaps:

One of the kids that Heaps will be throwing to is Marcus Lucas, of Liberty, Missouri. This kid played at the same high school I did; albeit many years apart.



#33 (I thought I was the white Tony Dorsett)

Wow craigoscarson you are so white I can't even see you in the picture! :)

"Ross Apo has been one of the most solid players on the West squad regardless of position."

Heaps tearing it up at U.S. Army All-American Bowl practice

"As the drills went on, Heaps got comfortable and really did get into a groove. Then when the scrimmage started, he caught fire, slinging it all over the field. The throw of the day, the week maybe, was a dart on the outside shoulder to Nate Askew, unloading it for 30 yards and a score."

"On Heaps: "This guy has ice water in his veins; the ferocious pass rush does not phase him; he goes through his progressions easily, reads defenses well and can hit his receivers on the numbers just about every time."



On Apo: "He competes for the ball in flight and is at his best in tough situations. He can hurt you in underneath zones; he's the consummate wide receiver who does whatever it takes to improve his game."



On Heimuli: "Heimuli is one of the best defensive players to come out of Utah in quite some time. He's impossible to block with his bull rush and strength that is unmatched by anybody in the nation. He's also a very intelligent defender and knows what it takes to make the big play at key times.""

How did Apo and Heimuli do in the game?

Apo was near invisible, and Heimuli looked awesome as a d-lineman, and played some O-line and blocked for Heaps.
