Cavinder twins Haley and Hanna transferring from Fresno State to Miami women's basketball program

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Haley and Hanna Cavinder are about to expose 4 million fans to Miami women's basketball.

The Cavinder sisters — identical 5-foot-6 twin guards who combined to average 34.2 points per game in their three seasons at Fresno State and built an enormous social media following during the pandemic — announced Thursday night that they are transferring to Miami for their senior seasons.

Their notable stats: 3,040 combined points in 89 games, 400,000 Instagram followers apiece and 4 million more on their shared TikTok account that mostly features them dancing side-by-side.

«WHAT'S UP MIAMI,» Hanna Cavinder wrote on Instagram, under a photo of she and her sister in Miami uniforms.

Miami later confirmed the move and announced that the sisters have officially signed with the Hurricanes.

«Coming into the offseason losing four impactful players, we felt like we had specific needs and Haley and Hanna absolutely helped us meet several of them,» Miami coach Katie Meier said. «They are huge pieces for our program.»

Haley Cavinder was the Mountain West's player of the year as a sophomore in 2020-21, plus was an all-conference selection as both a freshman and a junior. Hanna Cavinder also was all-conference as a freshman. Haley Cavinder is one 3-pointer shy of 200 for her career; Hanna Cavinder has had at least 100 assists and 50 steals in each of her college seasons.

«When we got on campus, there was just a vibe and a feeling you get when you know it is the right decision,» Haley Cavinder said. «I just think with Coach Katie and the leader she is and what she has done with the program, there is something that we were so attracted to, and I think we knew when leaving Miami that we wanted to come back.»
