David Shaw, his Stanford coach, was very high on him. I know many college coaches are high on their own players, but Shaw also coached Andrew Luck and I don't think he's the type to unnecessarily pump a player's tires.
From what I understand, and I don't watch college or follow HS recruiting, Mills was a fairly highly touted HS recruit. His college starts were quite limited. Last spring, there was some talk that if he would have returned for another year at Stanford and instead come out this year, he would have been a likely first round pick, and a high one at that.
