Laura Forbes brings blue-collar stability to Monmouth’s frontcourt
Laura Forbes is a 6-foot senior center whose value at Monmouth has long been about reliability, leadership, and the gritty stuff that doesn’t always light up a box score; Monmouth’s staff described her as a “calming presence” who does the “blue-collar work” needed to win. In the 2008-09 season, she appeared in 29 games with two starts, averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 rebounds while leading returners in field-goal percentage at 44.3%, a good sign for a low-usage interior finisher who plays within the offense. If you want size, maturity, and a steady glue player rather than a volume scorer, she fits the bill.
