Forbes takes on bigger role in first year

Skylar Forbes averages 5.9 points per game.

Skylar Forbes is different than most first-years.

How many first-years play in every game? Not a lot. Well, how many scored in all but one of those games? Few. How about being a starter? Even fewer.

But Forbes has done them all.

The 6-foot-3 forward comes from Scarborough Prep — a high school associated with the WBB National Prep team — in Toronto, Canada.

There, she averaged 17.5 points, eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals as a senior.
