FAQs

Are the Cavinder twins returning to Miami? ›

Haley and Hanna Cavinder are returning to Miami for their fifth and final season of collegiate eligibility, they announced on social media this week. The twins helped Miami in 2023 reach its first-ever Elite Eight in their first season there after spending three years at Fresno State.

Hanna and Haley Cavinder say they're returning for 1 last season at Miami. The Cavinder twins are back at Miami. One day after Hanna Cavinder revealed she was returning to the Hurricanes, twin sister Haley Cavinder said she was decommitting from TCU and headed back to Miami as well.

The guard help could not have came at a better time, as star guard Haley Cavinder on Thursday announced her transfer from TCU back to Miami, where she will join her twin sister Hanna. Cavinder announced her transfer to TCU in November 2023 and never played a game for the Horned Frogs.

The Cavinders have both played four seasons in college, the first three at Fresno State before coming to Miami. They still have a final season of eligibility because of the NCAA ruling that restored a year of eligibility to all athletes who went through a pandemic-affected season.

The report said head coach Katie Meier had “inappropriate” involvement in setting up a meeting between the twins and Ruiz. The NCAA also found that Ruiz had provided them an “impermissible benefit”: a free meal, not an NIL deal.

The Cavinder twins began attending California State University, Fresno in 2019. By the time they finished their junior year, they'd collected plenty of accolades, including repeat seasons named to the All-Mountain West Team and several Mountain West Player of the Week and Player of the Year recognitions.

Hanna Cavinder averaged 3.8 points in 2022-23 season for Miami. “Being presented with the opportunity to play together one more time is something I cannot pass up,” Haley Cavinder wrote. “I am excited for this upcoming season and can't wait to play at the U.”

Haley Cavinder (born January 13, 2001) is an American social media personality and college basketball player for the Miami Hurricanes of the Atlantic Coast Conference. She previously played for the Fresno State Bulldogs after beginning her career with Miami.

The Cavinder twins, who gained popularity through their TikTok videos and became stars of the NIL movement in college athletics, said in April that they would forgo their final seasons of eligibility to pursue opportunities with WWE.

That was Hanna and I's goal,” Haley said. “Hanna didn't want to play, so she made me quit basketball.” Haley joked that the two “got into a fight” on the subject, but apparently Hanna simply had no desire to run it back, and the twins have decided to move forward with their lives and careers.

Haley Cavinder is headed back onto the court. One half of the social media stars and the "queens of the NIL" Cavinder twins, former Miami Hurricanes and Fresno State guard Haley Cavinder announced on Monday she is officially ending her retirement from basketball and has committed to play for TCU.

In Miami's case, the violation occurred when Ruiz invited the Cavinder twins and their family over for dinner before they became athletes at the university and were still in the transfer portal. He even tweeted a photo of the dinner, which is what caught the NCAA's attention.

After the 2022-23 season, Hanna Cavinder decided to step away from basketball, while Haley Cavinder announced her transfer to play for TCU for the 2024-25 season. Since deciding to leave basketball, the Cavinders have been busy partnering with several companies while pursuing other endeavors.

The Cavinders, who were ranked 32 and 33 on the On3 100, graduated from college with a combined NIL valuation of $1.7 million. After announcing a collaboration with Jake Paul's Betr company, they are estimated to be worth $4.4 million.
