This article directly addresses something I've talked about--the high school ratings of players drafted by the NFL. It only looks at the top 100 players drafted, so it doesn't show how most of the "can't miss" 5- and 4-star recruits never made it to the NFL. However, the info here is still pretty cool.

Most players were rated pretty high in high school, but I noted that Samson was one of UH's higher rated recruits his year and he only had 2-stars. Ikaika had no stars of course because he was a walk-on basketball player.

Chris Liwienski, Joe Toledo, Dan Stevenson and rookies Samson Satele and Drew Mormino are competing for the guard spots, but the Dolphins will consider moving center Rex Hadnot back to guard if Satele excels at center. Mueller said he hasn't considered re-signing Jeno James because the team wants to get younger at guard.

Very interesting that Miami is letting one of their guards go to make room for a younger player (Samson?). Also interesting that they think highly enough of Samson that they are considering moving their starting center to guard and having Samson start for them at center as a rookie.
