Walk-on quality

There are too many good walk-ons in this game, and often too tall. Anyone good enough to walk-on and play meaningful minutes at a big school should have been good enough to be offered full scholarships at lower level schools--and would have taken those offers.
That there are 4.0/5.0 rated walk-ons that the AI starts is bad. Either the players really aren't that good and the AI is making a huge mistake in starting them, or they are better than than real-life walk-ons, which is also bad. the game generates walk-ons to fill positions, I think, but that isn't what happens in reality.
Scouting error accounts for a big chunk of these, but why? Why should a coach consistently over-rate a kid who should be riding the pines and managing the equipment? This gets back to my opinion that by the time a player's first season starts we should have an accurate assessment of his current abilities. Only potential should be the subject of debatable scouting error.
A tall kid will get a scholarship offer somewhere. I'm reminded of a 6-9 kid who lived on my street about 20 years ago who wasn't all that good in HS but still got a scholarship to Radford where he sat on the bench after playing a little his first two years. His parents went to VCU and hoped he'd get an offer from there, but going there and walking-on was never seriously discussed.
My conclusion is that walk-ons should be short and crap and NEVER any good.
