I happen to be in Norfolk when this recruit signed with ODU and the story in lcoal paper [Pilot] gave me the impression ODU's coach Taylor planned on redshirting him to enable the cultural/academic maturing, but mostly the physical. I got the impression they considered this kid a good student but that it would be his 2nd or 3rd year before he was anything more than a space eater.
While not an ODU fan, I actually think this strategy of taking a chance on developing a big kid outside the normal recruiting circles is worth considering. A nice suprise might develop. Anytime that happens with somebody over 6' 10" thats a home run.
This kid specifically, though, I have no idea about and doubt he will be of impact anytime soon [if ever?].
