Carr led the Mounties on their most dominant run of the decade, reaching the PSAC playoffs 3-of-4 seasons, while winning the PSAC East twice and reaching the NCAA tournament during his senior season in 2010-11. Nine years removed from his last game as a Mountie, Carr's name is still scattered throughout the program's record book. Carr's 1,497 career points is good for sixth all-time. Carr is the record holder for career free throws (610) and is second in games played (109) and career blocks (125), while his 46 blocks in 2010-11 rank fifth. Carr is second in career free throws (394), while his 129 free throws in 2010-11 rank eighth.

Yuseff Carr was one of the most dominating players in Mansfield's 120-year men's basketball history. Carr led Mansfield to back-to-back PSAC East titles during the 2010 and 2011 season as well as their last NCAA National Tournament appearance in 2011. A three-time All-PSAC East selection, Carr was a two-time NCAA Division II Atlantic Region selection. In 2011 he became the first Mountaineer to be selected to participate in the Reese's Division II All-Star game at the NCAA Division II National Championship Weekend recognizing him as one of the top 20 NCAA Division II Basketball players in the country.

Following his senior season, Carr was selected to participate in the 2011 Reese's NCAA Division II College All-Star game as one of just 20 players from across the country, representing the top NCAA Division II players in the nation, while becoming the first person to do so in Mansfield history.

A bruising forward in the low post, Carr earned 1st Team All-PSAC East selection for the second straight season and was the second Mountaineer to be named PSAC East Player of the Year since Louis Judson first won the award in 1997. He was the second player in school history to earn NABC all-Atlantic Region honors in back-to-back season, including first team honors this year. He moved into fifth all-time in Mountaineer scoring with 1,497 career points, while earning his second consecutive MU Winter Athlete of the Year.

 As a junior, Carr again ranked in the top-10 in the conference in points, rebounds, blocks and free throws made, while moving into 18th all-time in program history with points as he eclipsed the 1000-point milestone. Carr was named MU Winter Male Athlete of the Year after earning NABC Division II Atlantic All-Region Team, 1st-Team All-PSAC East.
