The North Carolina Tar Heels had a disappointing end to their season, losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

UNC entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 11 seed and wound up falling to Ole Miss after competing in a play-in game against San Diego State.

After the season, a couple of Tar Heel stars have announced their decisions, whether they will be staying with the ACC program or entering the NCAA transfer portal.

Elliot Cadeau, a former blue-chip recruit, was the biggest blow to the roster for head coach Hubert Davis and his staff.

Cadeau transferred from UNC to Michigan soon after the season. The official social media account of the NCAA March Madness recently announced Cadeau's move to Michigan.

"Officially official," posted the NCAA. "Michigan announced that Elliot Cadeau is headed to Ann Arbor next season."

Cadeau is fresh off his second season at North Carolina. This past season, Cadeau recorded 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, leading the Tar Heels in average assists.

During his freshman season with the North Carolina Tar Heels, Cadeau posted 7.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Davis and his staff will now look to fill the shoes of one of the best facilitators in the ACC. Luckily, UNC will be welcoming back Seth Trimble, one of the program's lead guards, next to Cadeau and RJ Davis.
