West Bloomfield head coach Ron Bellamy holds the trophy and celebrates with players and coaches after defeating Davison, 41-0, in the MHSAA Division 1 final at Ford Field, Saturday, Jan. 23, 2021.
One criticism about the recent hires of Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh was that he didn’t do enough to address in-state recruiting or the perceived lack of it for the Wolverines.
To be fair, the idea that Michigan football doesn’t recruit the state of Michigan is overblown, yet it’s true that the Wolverines need to do a better job as elite prospects in recent classes have spurned U-M in favor of places such as Notre Dame, Kentucky and Alabama.
