MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — If Rod Thorn had to do it all over again, Jermaine Haley would be the last Mountaineer to ever wear No. 10.
It was Thorn’s No. 44 that was officially retired by West Virginia on Saturday afternoon, making him just the third player in program history to receive the honor.
But in the hours before his likeness and number were unveiled atop Section 226 at WVU Coliseum, Thorn revealed that he didn’t realize just how much pressure he was putting on himself back in 1961.
