Just tried this once - 635 eligible high school players for the 6/5/2038 draft, born 7/6/18-6/5/20. Simmed past the draft pick signing deadline (7/5/38)
461 drafted, placed by AI between R, A-, A
411 - R
37 - A-
13 - A
115 players drafted and didn't sign
87 - returned to HS (birth date 7/20/19 - 6/3/20)
24 - went to COL (birth date 7/10/18 - 7/1/19)
4 - end up in no man's land (birth date 7/2/19, 7/3/19, 7/4/19)
59 players went undrafted
58 - went to COL (6/7/19 - 5/27/20)
1 - no man's land (birth date 5/13/19)
I then simmed ahead to the start of the next year HS/COL season (4/1/39).
5 no man's land - stayed in no man's land (not in HS/COL, not in FA pool)
82 COL all still in COL
15/87 HS still in HS (birth date 4/6/20 - 6/3/20)
72/87 HS stuck in limbo, sit out the year (junior college?) (birth date 7/20/19 - 3/30/20)
So the HS players who were eligible 6/5/38, were drafted, didn't sign, and were still eligible for HS in year 1 but aged out in the offseason got stuck in limbo for one feeder league season.
Then I simmed past the draft pick signing deadline for the second year (7/5/39)
Out of those 72, 1 gets stuck back in limbo - "went to college" but not on a team, 17 went to COL, 54 were drafted and signed.
Looks like the dates eligible for the draft are based on the draft day and the dates that determine where you go if you are undrafted and don't sign are based on the signing deadline. Then your eligibility the next year is based on the start date of the league. I have my HS eligibility set for max age reached (18), could maybe tweak those so that all eligible HS players who don't sign go to COL instead of back to HS. That may be as simple as changing it to max age surpassed which many people do.
None of the HS players end up in the FA pool, but the COL players who age out do if they go undrafted.
