Cavinder twins ponder basketball future
That’s something college seniors Haley and Hanna Cavinder recently pondered during an appearance on the “BFFs” podcast, where the social media sensations discussed potential next steps and their future statuses with the Hurricanes’ women’s basketball team.
I’m going to try and get her to stay,” Haley said of Hanna, with whom she shares 4.3 million TikTok followers.
Regarded as two of the highest-paid college athletes, the Cavinder twins have earned an estimated seven figures in NIL deals since the NCAA rule change in 2021, enabling student-athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness.
The pair signed a NIL deal with the WWE in December 2021.
In regards to athletics, although Haley’s mind appears to be made up about a return to the court, Hanna remains unsure.
Hanna might not want to play our fifth year, so that’s the only reason,” Haley said. “I just like to hoop so I was like I want to come back for a fifth year. But Hanna is more like, ‘I want to start my life.’
In fact, the Cavinder sisters are unsure if they even want to be influencers after college.
“I feel like in influencing, you get in it, it’s such hard work and being able to stay consistent with social media and all that comes with it, props to everyone, it’s very hard.
