The problem on the OOTP side is that the game doesn't really have a great way of implementing leagues in which maybe 1 or 2 players per team are good enough to eventually enter the draft. For high school it'd be even more extreme - probably see at most a couple players per league, let alone team - and a big fat lot of it I think is that if you really and truly simmed out games like that, it'd slow sims down to an absolute crawl (imagine a thousand games a day!).

What OOTP has instead is the option to create feeder leagues. I don't really like them but I guess they "work" so long as you accept that the entire process is meant to be abstracted. Feeder leagues are leagues in which every single player who is in them is meant to be draft-eligible eventually. You'll find out that you wind up using a fraction of actual "colleges" and so few high schools that it's probably better to create regional "prep academies" and create alternate universes that way. This process really hasn't been touched since it was created several years ago and TBH I don't think they're popular enough for the devs to want to spend a lot of time on anyway.
