That might help the feeder experts around here figure out what's going on.
What Aaron I seemed to have found is that feeders are only guaranteed to generate 6 to 9 players for the draft if after league creation you change the player creation age max to = min. Sometimes the game generates older players to replace a graduated player and it can up the number in the draft if rules max player age = created max player age. If created player max age = rules min player age all guys generated are freshman and the age distribution from setup is pretty much preserved. If new players can be any allowable age sometimes the game creates too many seniors making a big draft class.

Also if you use JUCO teams and set the rules to a 2 year league then that number doubles. Essentially approximately 25% of a team graduates every year in a 4 year league which is around 7 players for 25 man teams. In a 2 year league that changes to 50% or around 13.
