The school basketball world thought it was finished with The Cavinder Twins, the Miami duo who grew to become central figures of the identify, picture, and likeness period of school athletics because of their common social-media channels greater than what they did on the court docket. Haley and Hanna Cavinder introduced again in April they’d retired from basketball, however that hanging up of their health club footwear is probably not everlasting, as Haley reportedly entered the switch portal on Friday, per ESPN, who spoke with Jeff Hoffman, the Cavinders’ agent.
And to make issues extra difficult, Haley is eyeing 2024-25, not the upcoming season, for her faculty basketball swan tune. Hanna and Haley plan to spend the following yr coaching with the WWE and concentrating on different enterprise efforts. The twins have already made their televised debut with the corporate beneath WWE’s developmental model, NXT. Per ESPN, Haley will take into account staying at Miami for her closing season of school basketball, in addition to be open to different choices, which getting into the switch portal provides her the liberty to do. Haley was the extra productive Cavinder sister with the Hurricanes, averaging 12.2 factors and 4.9 rebounds per sport in Coral Gables. Hanna solely averaged 3.8 factors per sport and has dominated out a return to the court docket.
The attention-grabbing a part of Haley’s doable return to the hardwood, which I’d hope can be cleared earlier than she probably intends to play, can be whether or not WWE counts as knowledgeable league. Competing within the WNBA for instance would disqualify a return to an NCAA establishment. WWE is sports activities leisure with predetermined outcomes, though the motion within the ring takes nice bodily capability. Cavinder can be one of many greatest stars within the sport upon her return, even with out her sister in tow.Â
