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.

Ayush Shetty registered another straight-games win to reach the semifinals of the ongoing Badminton Asia Championships 2026 in Ningbo, China, on Friday.
Ayush, 20, picked up from where he left off, following up on his opening-round upset of World No. 7 Li Shi Feng of China and a victory over Chinese Taipei’s Chi Yu Jen, with a 23-21, 21-17 win over Indonesia’s Jonatan Christie, ranked fourth in the BWF global rankings.
Ayush is now assured of a medal in the competition.

All-Star guard Jackie Young and the Las Vegas Aces are close to agreeing on a one-year deal, according to a Thursday report from ESPN. The deal is expected to be worth $1.19 million, the maximum amount for players not eligible for the WNBA’s max contract of $1.4 million.
That number would make Young the WNBA’s first million dollar athlete, making in excess of $1 million a year.
The contract keeps Young, 28, off the free-agent market. The four-time All-Star averaged 16.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals a game for Las Vegas in 2025, helping the Aces to their third WNBA championship in four years.
Young was drafted first overall by the Aces in 2019 out of Notre Dame and signed a contract extension with Las Vegas in May of 2024. Young is a four-time All-Star and two-time All-WNBA selection and was named the WNBA’s Most Improved Player in 2022. She has also won a pair of Olympic gold medals — with the 3×3 team in Tokyo in 2020 and 5-on-5 team in Paris in 2024 — and a national championship with Notre Dame in 2018.
With Young presumably guaranteed to return, the Aces will attempt to retain center A’ja Wilson, a four-time MVP and two-time Finals MVP who said she wants to come back to Vegas, and guard Chelsea Gray, a six-time All-Star.

Mark Scheifele reached 99 points on the season with two assists as the Winnipeg Jets won their third straight by defeating the host St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Thursday night.
Alex Iafallo, Josh Morrissey and Jonathan Toews scored for the Jets (35-31-12, 82 points). Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck made 20 saves.
Dylan Holloway for St. Louis (33-33-12, 78 points) had a goal and an assist. The Blues’ Colton Parayko also scored, while Jordan Binnington made 31 stops.
The win kept Winnipeg’s faint playoff hopes alive in its push for the final Western Conference wild-card spot, while the loss all but guaranteed St. Louis will miss the postseason.
The Blues opened the scoring with a no-look backhand pass from Robert Thomas that found Holloway’s stick. He made a series of quick moves before finishing on the power play at the 4:56 mark of the first period, giving St. Louis an early 1-0 lead.
Winnipeg evened the score at 1-1 at the 9:24 mark of the first when Scheifele delivered a backhand pass of his own from behind the net in the Jets’ offensive zone, finding Iafallo, who batted the puck into the net.
The Jets took a 2-1 lead with 5:49 remaining in the second period. A shot from high near the blue line by Jacob Bryson created a rebound that found its way onto Morrissey’s stick, and he buried it to give Winnipeg the advantage.
Winnipeg extended its lead to 3-1 just 1:40 later, when Cole Perfetti set up a one-timer for Toews, who wired a snapshot into the open cage.
St. Louis got within one with 7:00 remaining in the third period. Parayko finished off a dish from Jordan Kyrou off the rush to cut the Jets lead to 3-2. That would remain the final score.
There are few other sports that can compete with rugby league when it comes to physicality and skill. It’s clever handling and outrageous trickery combined with absolute brutality, and that’s why we all love it.
And if you’re looking for all of that and more on a weekly basis, you should check out the NRL. It’s an electric competition featuring some of the best players and teams in the world. We’re definitely not knocking what you get in the Northern Hemisphere, but there’s something special about the National Rugby League. It feels like something wild happens every week.

Hockey India, on Friday, officially announced the appointment of Tim White as the coach of the Indian junior women’s hockey team. The Australian high-performance coach, who recently served as the head coach of the Tamil Nadu Dragons in the Hero Hockey India League (Hero HIL) in January 2026, takes over the role with a clear focus on developing the next generation of international stars.
Tim White’s distinguished coaching career includes recent success in Belgium and experience with Australia. Prior to his arrival in India, White served as the coach for the Belgium Under-21 women’s team, guiding them to a bronze medal at the 2025 Junior World Cup in December. Between 2021 and 2024, he was also an integral part of the Belgium women’s national team coaching staff, during which time the team significantly improved its world ranking from 12 to three, notably achieving a semifinal finish at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Earlier in his career, he held the position of national junior coach for Australia, where he also secured a bronze medal at the Junior World Cup.
Commenting on his appointment, Tim White said, “Having recently spent time in India as the coach of the Tamil Nadu Dragons, I was drawn back by the country’s incredible passion and rich hockey culture. I have seen the immense young talent here while coaching against India at Junior World Cups, and the chance to work in a full-time program with such motivated athletes is a privilege. My goal is to produce technically sound players who are ready to bridge the gap and push for spots in the senior team.”
On his vision for the squad, White added, “I want to keep the game simple and focus on our collective and individual strengths. We will aim to be a team that values attacking hockey but remains exceptionally disciplined in our defensive structures. It is vital that we work hard physically to ensure we perform at a high level for the full 60 minutes. By mastering core skills under pressure and playing ‘team-first’ hockey, we will be well-prepared for any international challenge.”
