In the span of six days, the University of Miami became the hottest destination in men’s and women’s college basketball.
In case you were too busy cheering for the Heat or poring over mock NFL drafts to notice the jaw-dropping UM basketball news, here’s a quick recap:
April 21: Sharpshooting twin guards Haley and Hanna Cavinder, who have four million TikTok followers and an estimated $1 million in NIL sponsorship deals, announce at 8 p.m. they are transferring from Fresno State to Miami. Fourteen minutes later, billionaire UM booster John Ruiz retweets their announcement with this message: “Young ladies, welcome to the U and welcome to @LifeWallet”. Terms were not disclosed for their deal with Ruiz’s health care company.
