Michigan Basketball Secures Massive Wins With Cadeau and McKenney News
Wolverines secure future stars Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney, ensuring continued success and an exciting era for Michigan basketball.
The 2025–26 season has been nothing short of a revelation for Michigan basketball under Dusty May. With a Big Ten regular-season title already secured and a deep NCAA Tournament run underway, the vibes in Ann Arbor are at a multi-year high. However, the most significant news for the program’s long-term health arrived this week off the court: star guards Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney have both confirmed they are returning to the Wolverines for the 2026–27 season.
In an era defined by the transfer portal and early NBA departures, securing this backcourt tandem is a monumental win for Dusty May’s "May-hem" system. The Engine: Elliot Cadeau’s Evolution When Elliot Cadeau transferred from North Carolina, he was viewed as a high-level distributor with a questionable jump shot. A year under May has transformed his game.
Cadeau has averaged 10. 3 points and 5. 7 assists per game this season, but the real story is his efficiency.
He improved his three-point shooting to 37. 5%, making him a dual threat that defenders can no longer sag off of. Cadeau told reporters he is "100 percent" more confident since arriving in Ann Arbor, citing the freedom within Michigan’s offense as the catalyst.
