I should have added that I am getting a recursive list of items in the main
folder using a shell script  -

set thisFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder"
set mainDirectory to thisFolder
set thisFolder to POSIX path of thisFolder
set folderList to do shell script "ls -R '" & thisFolder & "'"

....

I'm not too versed in Unix - is there a way to limit this to just all
subfolders of the main folder and to return the folder sizes and I can just
skip the Finder/Sys Events all together?

Maybe you need get more familiar with "info for", as that command will tell you whether a given item is a folder, and it will tell you its size also, I think.

As for getting the first level subfolders only, you may need "list folder". Use it with "invisibles false".
