When Landon Forbes had the opportunity to transfer from Fort Hays State to Hutchinson Community College to play basketball, it was too good to pass up.
“First, Hutch fits my style of play better,” Forbes said. “The game is played at a much quicker pace, allowing for more transition opportunities. Also, I liked the idea of coming to a school with coaches who would elevate my game and prepare me for the remainder of my college career. I was drawn to Hutch after they won the National Championship because I knew I was going to be coming to a program filled with knowledge and experience. Making the decision to transfer schools truly has been the best thing for me.”
Forbes, who went to Bishop Carroll, loves that her friends and family now have a better chance to watch her play.
“While I never had a preference as to where I was going to school, it has been very convenient being only 45 minutes from my hometown,” Forbes said. “A lot of my friends and family have been able to come watch me play, and that has been one of my favorite parts about being so close to home.”
Aside from the athletics, everything about her Hutchinson experience has been worthwhile for Forbes.
“You will meet so many people, have teachers that truly care about your success and well-being, and you will enjoy the family-like atmosphere on campus,” Forbes said.
