I do not want to see the sim slowed by trying to model all of the HS teams and games. I do want to see more connection with realistic recruiting and scouting through

- Pipeline relationships tied to both schools and coaches with a bigger positive impact from those relationships in recruiting success, esp for coach connections out of the local area

- More accurate scouting information when a pipeline relationship exists

- Bigger impact of HS reputation and player development - someone from De La Salle (CA) or Hoover (AL) will be likely to have much better skills right out of HS than someone from Lawrence HS (KS) - and less unexpected upside due to the amount of exposure and constant evaluation by fairly savvy HS coaches. I would think that a model built on the last 5-10 years of recruits from those schools would be pretty realistic.
