The only detail remaining is the removal of the blue tarp covering it.
The list of speakers for Saturday’s dedication includes Mountaineer great and teammate Jerry West, West Virginia University benefactor and Arizona Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick, WVU director of athletics Shane Lyons, Mountaineer coach and close friend Bob Huggins, and Hundley’s daughter, Kimberly.
All of those presentations will undoubtedly be terrific, but the one person that would have really completed the occasion was Hundley himself.
Sadly, that’s not possible because Hot Rod passed away last March at age 80.
I can’t pretend to know precisely what he would have said if he were here on Saturday, but the two extended interviews I had with him provides some clues.
