Haley Cavinder is making a comeback to college basketball, and it’s going to be epic! After previously announcing that she and her twin sister Hanna were done with NCAA eligibility, Haley surprised everyone by revealing that she’s not ready to hang up her basketball shoes just yet. In a jaw-dropping Instagram post, she shared a highlight reel with the caption, “see you next season #year5,” confirming her return for the 2024-25 season.
Hanna, her twin sister, couldn’t contain her excitement and commented with popcorn emojis, “SHESSS BACK,” adding, “on friday the 13th… that’s crazy.” It’s clear that the Cavinder twins are ready to shake things up in the basketball world once again.
Rumors are swirling that Cavinder has entered the transfer portal, which could mean she’s headed to her third school. Before joining the Hurricanes last season, both Haley and Hanna played for three seasons at Fresno State. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the twins have an extra year of eligibility, and they’re not letting it go to waste.
Haley’s leadership led the Hurricanes to the Elite 8 in last year’s women’s March Madness tournament, where they pulled off a stunning upset against top-seeded Indiana. With an average of 12.2 points per game, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, Haley’s impact on the court is undeniable.
But that’s not all – the Cavinder twins are not just basketball stars; they’re social media sensations with a massive following on TikTok. They’ve also made waves in the world of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, reportedly signing seven-figure contracts.
In a surprising turn of events, the sisters signed an NIL deal with WWE in December 2021, hinting at a future beyond basketball. Their WWE debut in June caught everyone off guard, especially after they had previously announced their shift in focus from basketball to WWE. Haley expressed their excitement about this new venture, saying, “We love the WWE, their fanbase, the sport, the fitness side of it. That fits Hanna and I’s brand and aligns with us. They’re a great partner, and we’re excited about the future with them.”
It’s clear that the Cavinder twins are ready to take on new challenges and opportunities, and their fans can’t wait to see what they’ll conquer next. With their infectious energy and determination, there’s no doubt that the future holds incredible things for these two remarkable athletes.
