Can't tell if Draft Pools are broken or I'm crazy.

This is not a complaint about the quality of players in Draft Pools, or about rankings in general. My issue seems to be that the pre-set draft class of 2021 consistently fails to advance during the year 2020 if I save or back up my game at any point during the year. This means that players like Luke Leto, Brady House, and Kumar Rocker are only eligible for the draft in 2022 or later, rather than the class they are supposed to highlight. I am convinced this is an issue because it only occurs when I save or backup, with a straight sim to the 2021 draft always featuring the intended players. I am also convinced this is not simply players opting into college or being drafted as a senior as they fail to advance a grade in the status box.

As can be seen from day one of the sim, Leto is a HS Junior available in the 2021 draft.

This is a no save/no backup sim, and as can be seen, all is well and Leto is a now draft-eligible senior.

Here we see the issue, as Leto is not only not available in the 2021 draft and remains a HS Junior even after generating a year of stats for 2021. While I am using Leto as an example, this occurs in all pre-made future draftees for 2021, with Leto just serving as a prominent example.

I really have no idea why saving or backing up would cause this, but it is the only variable left between the two saves presented. This is not a small sample size issue, as I have tested this over 10 saves and gotten the same results. I really just wanna tank for Kumar Rocker man, and would appreciate any and all help with this.
