First of all, don't use caps, its classed as shouting, so I had to re-write your post.
I also disagree, I have had scout lists that have generated 22/23 year olds with scout players quality that have ended in 4 or 9 at the beginning of the season, last season I managed to get 8 players that had quality ratings that ended 88 or 89 and were all between 22-24 years old, sometimes it can be average to begin with like you say, but I have had excellent scout lists generated on day 1 before.
