I am thinking the second one. A lot was expected of him.

I heard that sentence on TV so was wondering if it is correct.

So which one does it mean? Does it mean the second and is it correct?

Oh I see. Is that because "it is ad hoc or nonnative” as you said? Also, would you say that it most likely means your second sentence though?
