Hanna and Haley Cavinder moved to Miami for the 2022-23 season. They led the Hurricanes on their historic run to the first Elite Eight appearance. The twins hung their shoes up after this, but Haley Cavinder was the first to make a return.

“I missed it,” Cavinder said (For The Win). “I think that’s inevitable to always miss your sport when you walk away from it. But having the what-if – like, what if I took my fifth year?

"I need to take my fifth year to know that I did it. I just missed it a ton. I’m such a competitive person, so just being able to have that feeling again is something I’m looking forward to.”

Although she entered the transfer portal and chose TCU first in November 2023, Haley Cavinder switched teams in April when her twin sister Hanna Cavinder also announced her return.

“It comes down to do I want to play with my twin sister for my last season or go our different chapters and I just don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t go back and play with her,” she said (via The Miami Herald).
