So This Surprised Me

I was surprised to read that Jack Nunge Plans to Redshirt the 2018-2019 season until I read the article and saw that despite seeing "action in all 33 games a year ago, ranking second on the team in blocked shots (25), fourth in steals (21), and fifth in scoring (5.7)," he is also one of seven forwards on this year's Iowa roster." My takeaway from this decision is that he wouldn't get as much playing time as he'd like and, in the back of his mind, wants to make a run at the NBA when he is close to graduation. After seeing that Cordell Pemsl played sparingly last night in the men's win over UMKC, I wonder if red-shirting is in the back of his mind as well.
