I see the problem here. I know some other places there they tried these U21 squads, teams and blah blah (not only Basketball managers) HUGE problem is that usually later or earlier ALL youths becomes worthless as we have too much of them and this destroys economy a little bit as now we can draft 3 players and If we get nice POT player It could be diamond income for smaller club or even good income for any other club, but If we are going to have youth teams - which means minimum 12 new youths players for a team every 1-2 seasons - TRANSFER MARKET will get in trouble. So some teams will be in very hard situation and YES others, some stronger managers and teams maybe not going to feel it in first 3-5 seasons. Just saying, I think Draft of 3 players is good enough, you can spend money and get drafted good players - If you have good team to promote, let smaller teams to get better rookies don't be selfish (btw sometimes you can get lower pick with nice pot :) just scout them )

Well,
I like the youth team idea because it adds something different/extra and a new way to manage your team.
Why not just limit the total number of new rookies a team can get to 3 or 4. which means that even before the draft, or after the draft but in an extra in between phase the manager sees all the rookies, the draftees and the youth team rookies, that he can promote and has to choose 3 or 4 of them. Before having the final skills/potential etc revealed. Depending on how much info we give away it might not matter as much because the total rookie number will stay the same and we still don't know everything.

just an idea

"Lastly:
Seventeen is simply the max age a player can still be while on the youth team. At 18, you either promote them, or cut them. If they are cut BUT have a minimal TSP that would actually make them a decently usable player at 18 like say 50 TSP, that cut player goes to the FA market. If they are a terrible player, they just disappear upon being cut.

The initial team of players generated for your team would consist of an even number of four 15yr, four 16yr, and four 17 yr old players for your 12 man roster."

I believe me saying this in my last post actually addresses the issue you brought up before you brought it up. Youths that don't hit a minimum Useful TSP by a certain age And aren't called up to the main team would be removed from the system all together. There's actually something very similar that already happens with low value players that get cut now even so it's really not even a new idea on my part but rather an extension of one already implemented as we speak with normal players.
