Something I was told early on was to do an all-recruit search for high school players and to take note of the highest rating that shows up when you search at your division, then add 10 points to find out the max rating for a player outside your 300-mile circle that you might be able to pull down. For players inside 300 miles, add 25 points onto the max rating you get when searching at your division. Not sure if its rock-solid and I usually stretch it another 5 points or so just in case, but I haven't had a player outside of that range come to me yet.
