Michigan starting PG leaves shortly after Elliot Cadeau's arrival
Elliot Cadeau improved over the past two seasons as UNC's starter, but he entered his name in the transfer portal and, shortly after, committed to Michigan. North Carolina is welcoming Class of 2025 combo guards Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis, either of whom can run the point, but the need for more collegiate experience looms large.

With Cadeau's arrival in Ann Arbor followed the departure of Tre Donaldson, who started at point guard for the Wolverines. Donaldson averaged 11.3 points and 4.1 assists per game, the latter figure leading his teammates, but Donaldson knew that Cadeau's arrival means a dip in playing time for him.
Donaldson is now in the portal, announcing his decision to enter it on April 1 – and the Tar Heels should seriously considering adding a guard of his experience to their roster.
Not only did Donaldson average career highs during Michigan's run to the Sweet 16, but Donaldson has previous Power 4 experience, playing his first two collegiate seasons at Auburn. Donaldson thrived in his first year under Dustry May, starting all 37 games for the Wolverines.

It's not often you see two teams swap point guards, as larger deals are typically involved, but we're talking about the collegiate transfer portal here. There isn't any reported interest between Donaldson and UNC, but he'd be a great 1-year rental in Chapel Hill.
