Of course they don't, but you don't have to be a fulltime scout to know a lot about say Liverpool's academy players. A lot of fans follow their clubs youth teams very closely and would be able to make a report on a specific player.
And it's people like that who are being used as researchers by SI - as Miles Jacobsen mentions in the interview: They've got a lot of researches all over the world - even if they are not full time.
