In more recent versions of the game, this seems to have changed. Rookies in the draft pool definitely see ratings change, and sometimes dramatically. In the first rookie class of the new OOTP23 league I just started, a pitcher went from 5-10-8 with 11 Stamina to 7-7-7 with 3 Stamina.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I'd assumed rookie ratings were changing because all the other players were recalcing, and ratings are interdependent, but that wouldn't explain such dramatic changes. Surely they're not aging a year, are they?
Is the only solution to delay rookie class reveal until after recalc? That seems inferior to how things used to work.
Thanks for any help on this.

Maybe select the option for no dev for Draft-eligible players?
