Gian Clavell's medical hardship waiver was always expected to get approved. It just took a little longer than he anticipated.
"It was hard because they told it would take, what, like two weeks. Then all of a sudden it took more than one month, so I started thinking and started panicking a little bit," Clavell said Saturday a day after the team received approval from the Mountain West. "It worked out, so I'm pretty excited about it."
Clavell, a transfer from Northwest Tech and native of Puerto Rico, was off to a red-hot start last year before he broke his non-shooting hand in practice.
