I learned many years ago that normal rules do not apply to 7 footers. For most colleges, a commitment is year by year and colleges are willing to take a flyer on anyone that tall. Years ago, Holy Cross got Neil Fingleton from UNC. Morakinyo Williams transferred from Kentucky to Duquesne. Neither flourished at the smaller programs either, both averaging about 2 ppg.
Side note: Fingleton who is now listed as almost 7’8″ has a fledgling career as a villain going for him now.
