From Collegiate Basketball to Boob Jobs: Cavinder Twins Open Up About Their Double Surgery
Image via Instagram (Haley Cavinder) Breast augmentation among basketball players is a rare topic, especially when it involves two former NCAA stars doing it together. But leave it to Hanna and Haley Cavinder, the influencer duo and former college hoopers, to break the mold. On July 16, the 24-year-old Cavinder twins revealed to their 4.6 million TikTok followers that they had undergone breast augmentation surgery together. Just a month earlier, they had teased the decision, and now, true to their open-book style, they have brought fans along for the ride. Haley and Hanna Cavinder Undergo Breast Augmentation Surgery Never ones to shy away from humor or honesty, the Cavinder twins kicked off their surgery reveal with a bold TikTok while being in the gym, "Say goodbye to these little, itty, bitty t–ties, bitches, because 24 hours from now, I'm gonna have a rack.' In another short clip from the hospital, Hanna walked up to the camera with Haley lying in bed and being attended by a nurse. She wrote in the caption, 'Still trying to figure out how being 3 minutes older means she gets her job first.' Post-op, they continued the lighthearted vibe, sharing recovery footage that included Hanna looking hilariously dazed from anesthesia while Haley, ever the gym rat, was already chatting about when she could get back to her workouts. Their mom, Katie Cavinder, even made a cameo, handing Hanna coffee to help her wake up. Haley also admitted it was her first time being put under anesthesia, making the whole experience both new and a little nerve-wracking for the twins. From the Court to Content Queens Before their influencer fame, Hanna and Haley were known for their basketball skills. They began their college careers at Fresno State, where Haley was named Mountain West Player of the Year in 2020–21. Later, they transferred to the University of Miami, where they helped lead the Hurricanes to their first-ever Elite Eight appearance. Following a short stint training at the WWE Performance Center, the twins returned to Miami for one final season, officially wrapping up their collegiate basketball careers in 2025. The Cavinder Twins Are More Than Just Athletes The Cavinders are standout examples of the new era of college athletes who leveraged the NCAA's 2021 NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) rule to build massive brands. With millions of followers across platforms, they have inked deals with Under Armour, Boost Mobile, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Champs Sports. They even launched their own fitness and wellness app, TWOgether, offering custom workout routines and nutrition guidance. Now, with basketball in the past, the twins are leaning fully into fitness content, brand partnerships, and lifestyle vlogging.

UNC basketball center target in transfer portal target chooses SEC rival
UNC basketball center target in transfer portal target chooses SEC rival Why does UNC keep swinging and missing on transfer portal centers? BREAKING: Alabama has landed the commitment of 7-footer Noah Williamson, a transfer center from Bucknell, sources told @On3sports. The Patriot League Player of the Year averaged 17.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game this season. — Joe Tipton (@TiptonEdits) April 1, 2025 The college basketball transfer portal isn't even two weeks old, but we're already starting to see several players commit to their future destinations. Ellliot Cadeau, who ran point for the North Carolina Tar Heels over the past two season, committed to Michigan a week after entering the transfer portal. Donovan Dent, the reigning Mountain West Player of the Year and a 20-point scorer, chose UCLA after previously talking to UNC. One of North Carolina's greatest portal needs is a big man, who'll be playing alongside incoming 5-star power forward Caleb Wilson in the frontcourt. Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, it's now out of the running for 7-foot center Noah Williamson. After previous reports noted the Tar Heels looking at Williamson, the reigning Patriot League Player of the Year chose Alabama. Sound familiar? Cliff Omoruyi, a 6'11" center who played his first four years of college basketball at Rutgers, chose Alabama three days after visiting UNC during the 2024 offseason. Williamson, who averaged a career-high 17.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game with the Bucknell Bison during the 2024-2025 college basketball season, can do pretty much anything on the court. He's a 7-footer who can knock down threes (31.8% last year), but can also punish you in the pain with his towering frame. It doesn't matter what kind of big man North Carolina gets in the transfer portal, it just matters that North Carolina secures a commitment. The Tar Heels struck out on all the top-end talent during 2024, but enjoyed a late-season breakout from Ven-Allen Lubin, en route to the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

New Mexico standout Donovan Dent transferring to UCLA
March 29 - Donovan Dent, who won the Mountain West Player of the Year award with New Mexico this season, is transferring to UCLA. The 247Sports transfer portal listing confirmed the move on Saturday. He was ranked as the No. 2 player in the portal. Dent led the Mountain West with an average of 20.4 points and added 6.4 assists. He shot 49 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from 3-point range. He announced he was entering the transfer portal after New Mexico's 71-63 second-round loss in the South Region of the NCAA Tournament to No. 2 seed Michigan State. It's a homecoming for Dent, who played in high school at Centennial in Corona, about 65 miles from the UCLA campus. Coming out of high school, 247Sports ranked him as the No. 20 point guard in the nation in the 2022 class. Dent appeared in 104 games (72 starts) over three seasons with New Mexico, scoring 1,400 total points for an average of 13.5 points per game.

New Mexico star PG Donovan Dent entering transfer portal
New Mexico standout point guard Donovan Dent is entering the transfer portal Tuesday after leading the Lobos to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, according to multiple reports. Dent averaged 20.4 points and 6.4 assists and shot 40.9 percent from 3-point range in 35 games this season and won Mountain West Player of the Year honors. His 224 assists are second most in a season by a New Mexico player. Dent has 1,400 points, 493 assists and 131 steals in 104 games over three seasons. His assist total is seventh-best in program history. He reportedly will consider a return to New Mexico. However, a return probably is a long shot for a multi-faceted point guard who scores and passes at an elite level. Schools in power conferences will come calling with large offers for Dent, who will be one of the more sought-after talents in the portal. Dent led the Lobos to a 27-8 record -- the school's most wins since a 29-6 mark in 2012-13. New Mexico recorded a first-round NCAA Tournament win over Marquette before losing to Michigan State in the second round. Lobos guard Tru Washington also entered the portal, according to the Albuquerque Journal. Washington averaged 11.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in 34 games (33 starts) this season, his second with the Lobos. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2023 - All Rights Reserved
