Michigan signs Elliot Cadeau and Morez Johnson, Michigan State adds Kaleb Glenn from transfer portal

Michigan and Michigan State have added much-needed players from the transfer portal.

The Wolverines signed guard Elliot Cadeau, a two-year starter at North Carolina, and former Illinois forward Morez Johnson Jr. on Thursday.

Cadeau averaged 9.4 points and 6.2 assists as the Tar Heels' starting point guard last season. Johnson, a 6-foot-9, 255-pound forward, averaged seven points and seven rebounds in 17-plus minutes last season for the Fighting Illini.

The Spartans landed forward Kaleb Glenn, who played at Louisville two years ago and Florida Atlantic last season.

Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo dipped into the portal to bolster Michigan State's short-handed roster with the 6-6 Glenn, who averaged 12.6 points and made 41% of his 3-point shots last season for Florida Atlanta after averaging four points a game as a freshman at Louisville. Glenn was AAU teammates with Spartans point guard Jeremy Fears.

The Big Ten champions and NCAA Tournament Elite Eight team lost Jase Richardson to the NBA draft along with three players in the portal: Tre Holloman, Xavier Booker and Gehrig Normand.

The Spartans also will also be without three key players who are out of eligibility: Jaden Akins, Szymon Zapala and Frankie Fidler.

Fears, center Jaxon Kohler, high-flying wing Coen Carr and center Carson Cooper are expected to lead the team that has signed four-star recruits Cam Ward and Jordan Scott.

“I like my team coming back next year,” Izzo said earlier this week.

Michigan's chances of having success next season will increase if former UAB star Yaxel Lendeborg pulls out of the NBA draft to play for coach Dusty May. In his first season at the school, May led the Wolverines to the Big Ten Tournament and the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

Lendeborg announced he’ll transfer to Michigan if he decides not to stay in the draft. The 6-9 forward averaged 17.7 points, 11.4 rebounds last season. He was a two-time first-team All-American Athletic Conference pick and two-time AAC defensive player of the year.

Lendeborg will attend the NBA combine in Chicago in mid-May and have until May 28 to decide whether he’ll stay in the draft or return to college.

If he ends up at Michigan, he’ll fill a void in the front court because 7-footer Danny Wolf is expected to be in the NBA draft and center Vladislav Goldin is has exhausted his eligibility. The Wolverines will also be without guard Phat Phat Brooks, who entered the portal.

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.

A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.

Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.

The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”

Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.

Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
