Aside from a few test leagues, I haven't really been interested in using them. Focusing my OOTP universe on professional baseball and abstracting away amateur ball suits me fine. The idea of a draft pool coming from a relative handful of colleges/high schools just seems weird to me. I suppose I could just have a few feeders and fill the rest of the draft pool with created players, but then the idea of some draft pool players having multiple years of stats and some just having the created stats bugs me too.

One thing I've thought about is using a feeder league to simulate a league that isisn't strictly college or high school at all, but some kind of "junior league" (in a hockey sense), for 17-19 year olds. Not sure if I would use a high school or college feeder as the basis for that.
