All I want is a better fleshed out history for the amateur players. I think that this can be accomplished by having a big a amateur list that generates stats each year until the player is drafted. We all can agree that feeders as they are now, are not an ideal solution. Even the creator, himself, said so. I really think that the best way is to improve how the generated amateurs are presented to us.

I do agree with all this.
I'm not saying the stats are truly meaningless. HS stats, yeah. They're worthless.
College stats have value. Generally the best prospects do have great stats in college. But there are a TON of exceptions and a lot of non-prospects who have great college stats as well.
So it shouldn't be possible to draft well just based on stats in OOTP. There needs to be plenty of exceptions to the general 'great prospect, great stats' rule of thumb, enough to get you in real trouble if all you're looking at is stats. And I do think the game does ok with this now.
That's all I'm saying.
