Michigan guard Elliot Cadeau will remain with the Wolverines following Dusty May's unexpected exit, his agent Drew Gross confirmed to ESPN. Cadeau started every game during Michigan's championship run and captured Most Outstanding Player honors at the Final Four, posting 13 points and 10 assists against Arizona before delivering 19 points in the title victory over UConn.

The 6-foot-1 point guard averaged 10.5 points and 5.9 assists in his first season at Michigan after transferring from North Carolina. His decision comes after Trey McKenney also announced his return earlier this week. McKenney averaged 9.9 points off the bench as a freshman and appears poised for a larger role next season.

May sent shockwaves through college basketball Monday when he accepted the Dallas Mavericks coaching position, leaving the reigning national champions. Athletic director Warde Manuel appointed Mike Boynton as interim head coach Tuesday, delaying the transfer portal window until 31 days after May's departure.

Michigan retains its core backcourt for a potential title defense despite the coaching upheaval. Cadeau's return provides stability at point guard while the program searches for May's permanent replacement.
