The Mountain West Conference granted a medical hardship waiver Friday to Colorado State basketball guard Jesse Carr, who averaged 8.8 points in 25 games as a true freshman in 2008-09. The waiver means Carr will be a redshirt sophomore this season.
Carr missed the final six games of his freshman season with a hip injury and played in four games last December, but he aggravated the injury and did not play again. Carr led the Rams with 63 assists as a freshman.
