Haley Cavinder plots hoops return, enters transfer portal

Haley Cavinder plans to transfer from Miami with her focus on returning to college basketball next season.

Cavinder and twin sister Hanna spent last season on the Hurricanes' roster but said in April they planned to join WWE and end their hoops journey.

Haley Cavinder, a 5-foot-6 guard, averaged 12.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season. She is likely to be coveted in the portal if she chooses to leave Miami and has 2,065 career points entering her fifth season of eligibility.

The twins have more than 5 million social media followers, who were the first to know Haley intends to get back on the court. She posted a photo overlaid with an all-caps statement "See you next season" to Instagram on Friday.

Multiple outlets confirmed Haley Cavinder entered the transfer portal.

Hanna plans to remain retired, her agent told ESPN.

The 22-year-old twins helped Miami reach the Elite Eight as a No. 9 seed in March, beating Oklahoma State, Villanova and Indiana before losing to national champion LSU.

Social media superstars, the Gilbert, Ariz., natives spent their first three seasons at Fresno State and transferred to Miami for the 2022-23 campaign.

The twins are in the top five of all NIL earners across sports. They will continue deals with Champs Sports and others.
