Haley and Hanna Cavinder are two of the most popular athletes in all of collegiate sports. Between them, the pair boasts more than half a million followers on Instagram alone and they routinely go viral.
Beyond that, they’re also both pretty legit on the basketball court. This past year Haley averaged almost 20 points and nine rebounds per game for Fresno State, while Hanna put up 14.5 points, almost four rebounds and four assists per game.
The talent is obviously there.
Making their most recent move all the more surprising.
This week, the sisters announced that they would be departing Fresno State.

“Red Wave, Hanna and I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us these last three years at Fresno State,” their statement read.
“We have grown so much as people and players at Fresno, making this not an easy decision. Thank you to Coach White, her staff, our amazing teammates, and the Valley for everything they have done for us while we were here.
“With that being said, we have prayed and talked to our family about what is best for our future. Hanna and I have decided to enter our names into the transfer portal to continue our basketball career somewhere else.”
Wherever this duo ends up going, the eyeballs will no doubt follow. The engagement on their Instagram posts largely speaks for itself:

Their following is only really rivaled by that of LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, who went mega-viral earlier this year for a pretty self-explanatory video.
It will be interesting to see where the Cavinder sisters go from here.

Is a NCAA championship in their future?
Time will tell.
