Jermain Crowell, the head coach at Belleville High School, wasn’t fond of the Wolverines and what appears to be a comment from DB coach Mike Zordich. After Zordich noted that he was disappointed with the injury Lavert Hill has been dealing with this spring, Crowell had the following tweets:
I'll say this I've never seen a State coach publicly question a kids toughness from Detroit. Especially a kid who played a entire season hurt the year before.

As a matter of fact I've not seen a coach from anywhere else in the country ever do that. Not just State but anywhere. I find that very interesting.

Never in the public eye!!! There needs to be a trust amongst coach and player. I see no way that a player can trust a coach who publicly questions your toughness. Interesting situation. I'm just watching.

Two of Belleville’s top players -five-star OT Devontae Dobbs and four-star WR Julian Barnett, haven’t gotten a lot of interest from Michigan and are likely headed to East Lansing (Barnett is committed to MSU).
