Well, then it's definition issue. Not to split hairs, but if these HS players in your sample are from college (failed or not), then they are not HS players.

I ran the numbers and saw the actual percentage of drafted high school players overall and in just the first 10 rounds (most talented) trends with the percent available. I have those numbers for each test.

I get what you are saying, but regardless of the number of scenarios run, if the AI is trending towards modern day realizations of high SP attrition rates, and compensating for it, it will be the same regardless of the start/world.

Again, as I mentioned, the %s (SPs per HS and College) however do seem off overall as you pointed-out, so I'm not saying there is not something that should be addressed, it's just that these are two items that could be impacting the view somewhat.
