Final Four MOP Elliot Cadeau plans to stay at Michigan

Point guard Elliot Cadeau, selected the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player after leading Michigan to the national championship, will return to the Wolverines next season.

Cadeau broke the news to ESPN, and the Detroit Free Press confirmed it. The junior and the school came to an agreement, according to the newspaper.

It's unclear how many of Cadeau's championship teammates will be back. Michigan, with a transfer-laden roster, beat UConn 69-63 in the national final on Monday after topping 90 points in each of its previous five NCAA Tournament games.

Cadeau arrived at Michigan ahead of the just-concluded season after spending his first two collegiate years with North Carolina. While starting every game for the Wolverines (37-3), he averaged 10.5 points, 5.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds.

In the NCAA Tournament, the 6-foot-1 New Jersey native averaged 12.3 points, 7.5 assists and 3.6 boards. Cadeau logged 13 points and 10 assists in the semifinals against Arizona, then 19 points and two assists in final vs. the Huskies.

The news of Cadeau's return broke on the same day that Michigan landed prized transfer J.P. Estrella from Tennessee. The 6-foot-11 forward produced 10.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this season for the Volunteers, whose season ended with an Elite Eight loss to the Wolverines.
