The stats are modified by competition level and linked to ratings. There's also a certain amount of randomness, though I don't know the exact formula.
They aren't exact though, in that the best guys don't always have the best stats, even adjusted for level. This matches real life.
Some of the stuff you're describing are issues with the real guys, not the game generated guys.
The game generated guys do have schools listed, while they're in the draft pool. The schools are also listed in their histories once they're drafted.
They also do have stats generated, though not usually four years. I wouldn't make sense to generate four years typically since most college guys are drafted and signed as juniors, or draft eligible sophs or juco players, not seniors.
Most HS guys also don't have four years of history irl, as they often don't play, or play super sparingly as freshmen
I doubt Markus is going to want to put the school names in their stats records. You can't use full names, since they'll be too long and abbreviations won't help since there are at least a billion schools and tons of the abbreviations would be the same.
Overall I like your suggestions and we've provided quite a few more in beta and talks with Markus.
Sprucing up the draft is something that's been discussed behind the scenes for a while now, and at some point here it's very likely to get an overhaul.
