Sounds to me like this would be more "work" and less "fun".

Instead of simulating every game or providing intense database work in the background, maybe just giving every high school a generic title which would help define how that recruit is affected by his background.

If he comes from a "Blue Chip HS" he may be more developed than a normal player. Or maybe a WR in a "Ground and Pound HS" may need to be redshirted as his current skills are low because he did not get much chance to develop in high school.

That way we're not forced to follow 16,000 teams, but where the player comes from still has an impact of some sort into who he will be.
