Elliot Cadeau Commits to Return to Michigan After Dusty May Leaves for NBA

His choice gives Michigan immediate roster stability ahead of the program’s July 24 transfer window.

Overview

  • Cadeau confirmed on Friday that he will return to Michigan for the 2026–27 season, a decision first reported by his agent and carried by multiple outlets.
  • He was a central figure in Michigan’s 2025–26 title run, averaging 10.5 points and 5.9 assists in 40 games and recording 19 points in the championship game.
  • Michigan named Mike Boynton Jr. interim head coach after Dusty May accepted the Dallas Mavericks job, which triggered a special transfer window that opens July 24 for the program.
  • Fellow starter Trey McKenney has indicated he plans to stay as well, leaving Michigan with both of its most important returning backcourt pieces while other starters moved to the NBA.
  • Cadeau’s return reduces short-term uncertainty for players, staff, and recruits but Michigan still faces roster and recruiting decisions in the weeks before the portal opens.
