Michigan basketball previews 2026-27 roster and starting lineup
Summary

Michigan basketball has begun preparations for the 2026-27 season under new head coach Mike Boynton, following the departure of Dusty May. The team has managed to retain its roster, minus injured sixth man LJ Cason, who transferred to Miami. Projected starting lineup includes PG Elliot Cadeau, G Trey McKenney, G Brandon McCoy, F JP Estrella, and others. Cadeau is expected to be a key playmaker, while McKenney aims for a breakout season as a scorer. The upcoming season's success will hinge on how well the team adapts without their former coach and star players from last year's championship squad.
