Jakub Dombek was dressed and ready to go Tuesday night when the Colorado men's basketball team routed Drake in its season opener.
Despite a lopsided game that saw all three of the Buffaloes' eligible walk-ons get playing time, Dombek remained glued to his seat. It was a situation that will become routine for the foreseeable future.
On Thursday, head coach Tad Boyle confirmed that Dombek, a 6-foot-11 freshman forward out of the Czech Republic, will take a redshirt season in 2018-19, primarily with the focus on adding bulk to a lanky frame currently supporting only 190 pounds.
