Elliot Cadeau agrees to deal to return to Michigan basketball
If there was any doubt that Elliot Cadeau wasn’t going to return to Michigan for another season, it was officially put to rest.
Shortly after ESPN reported Thursday that Cadeau has agreed to a new deal for the 2026-27 season, the point guard shared the news on Instagram with a short message: “(Let’s) do it again.”
Several Michigan basketball assistant coaches also reacted on social media, including Akeem Miskdeen, who wrote: “PG1 back! Lets gooooooo.”
The news comes just days after Cadeau helped lead Michigan to its first national championship since 1989 and was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.
Cadeau averaged 10.5 points and 5.9 assists in 27.3 minutes during his first season with the Wolverines after spending the first two seasons of his college career at North Carolina. A pass-first facilitator who controlled Michigan’s offense, he scored in double figures in 21 games, dished out 10 or more assists six times and shot a career-best 37.6% from 3-point range.
After backup point guard L.J. Cason suffered a torn ACL late in the season, Cadeau took on more minutes and was at his best in the NCAA Tournament. During Michigan’s run to the national title, he averaged 12.3 points, 7.5 assists and 1.7 steals in 32.3 minutes per game and tied his season high with 19 points in the 69-63 championship game win over UConn.
“(Coach) Dusty May will bring the best out of you and that’s exactly what he did with Elliot,” guard Nimari Burnett said. “He trusted and believed in him. I remember before Elliot decided to come to Michigan … (May) was like, ‘We recruited a wizard in the portal.’ You could tell his excitement about somebody just being as unselfish as Elliot is and you know he was going to make him a better player.”
With Cadeau running it back for his senior year and fellow guard Trey McKenney also expected to return, Michigan’s starting backcourt appears set heading into next season.

Counterfeit cash investigation near Traverse City expands to 14 other states
A counterfeit money investigation that started near Traverse City, Michigan, is believed to have connections to similar activity in 14 other states, Michigan State Police said.
The five-month investigation into the use and manufacturing of counterfeit currency has resulted in one arrest so far, with a 56-year-old Grand Rapids man now in custody in the Benzie County Jail.
An MSP trooper was sent to a Dollar General store on Reynolds Road in Benzie County during October 2025 to investigate counterfeit $10 bills that had been passed, police said. During that investigation, the trooper learned of two other incidents under nearly identical circumstances in Grand Traverse County.
During the next five months, troopers worked with several local, state, federal, and out-of-state law enforcement agencies on the case. The investigation included serving multiple search warrants, and a suspect was identified.
The Benzie County Prosecutor’s Office then authorized a warrant for five felony counts of uttering and publishing counterfeit bills or notes.
Troopers said the MSP Sixth District Fugitive Team found the Grand Rapids man on March 27 at a hotel near the Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids. He was accompanied by two individuals from Malaysia who had recently traveled to the U.S.
In the meantime, troopers served a search warrant at the hotel room where they found additional counterfeit currency, a fraudulent check, multiple electronic devices and a printer “along with materials consistent with the production of counterfeit bills,” police said.
The Grand Rapids man was initially lodged at the Kent County Jail and then transported to the Benzie County Jail. He is “alleged to have been involved in interstate criminal activity, including the local manufacture of approximately $30,000 in counterfeit currency,” troopers said, adding that the Michigan man is also believed to have committed similar offenses in 14 additional states.
He was arraigned on Monday in Benzie County District Court on the five counterfeiting charges, authorities said. Bond was set at $25,000, and his next court date is April 20.
Law enforcement agencies in Iowa and North Dakota have also issued felony warrants for the man, police said, “with further charges anticipated.”
