In real life, more college players are drafted (at about a 60/40 rate, I think) but more top prospects tend to come out of high school. So a 50/50 split in your feeders in OOTP isn't unreasonable IMO.

Another way to approach this is to ignore reality and just mimick what OOTP would have you do, on the assumption that it's modeled in a way that makes sense. What I mean is, you could set up standard modern OOTP league without feeders, run it for a few drafts to see how OOTP tends to allocate the draft pool between high school and college, and set up your feeders to mimick that. That's what I would do.
