Miami’s favorite basketball twins, Haley and Hanna Cavinder, are at it again, reminding everyone why they’re the stars on and off the court. The Cavinders kicked off their last season with the Miami Hurricanes in an impressive fashion, clinching a victory against Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish and taking a dive into their latest NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) project. Their latest? A shoot with Ghost, the lifestyle brand known for everything from protein-packed cereal to stylish apparel. And let’s just say, they gave followers a taste of the action – and a little behind-the-scenes scoop – on their Instagram stories.
“Breakfast of Champions…Literally”
The early bird may get the worm, but these twins get the protein! At the crack of dawn, 8:05 am, the Cavinders showed off stacks of Ghost protein cereal boxes – talk about fuel for the fast and the fearless! Rumor has it these boxes weren’t just props but a staple in their pre-game ritual. Who knew that cereal was the secret sauce behind those slick moves on the court?
Next Stop: Glam Mode
With an arsenal of Ghost goodies (bottles, protein shakes, and, naturally, some A-list apparel), the Cavinders began their transformation from basketball pros to brand icons. While these ladies can score with their eyes closed, they certainly didn’t skip out on looking the part for the camera. Their Instagram stories painted the full picture: Haley and Hanna, focused and fierce, getting ready to step in front of the lens.

Cavinder Power: Ready to Take Over the Season
Since they announced their big return to college hoops in April, Haley and Hanna have been busy securing impressive NIL deals. Alongside this shoot with Ghost, they’ve landed a big three-year contract with Under Armour, a partnership that’s as iconic as their last-second shots. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, they’re also investors now, recently putting their cash (and their name) into Slate Milk, a protein drink brand. The twins mean business both on the court and in the boardroom.
Sunday Night Lights: The Sailfish Didn’t Stand a Chance
Their season-opening exhibition game against the Sailfish was everything fans hoped for – and more. Haley Cavinder led the pack with a double-double, posting 13 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and three steals. She was all over the floor, shooting 6-for-16, though her 1-for-4 from beyond the arc left her something to practice before the season’s official tip-off. But no worries; when Haley’s on her game, every shot looks like it’s headed for the hoop.
Not one to be outdone, Hanna Cavinder dropped 12 points herself, with a shooting stat line that could make any shooter jealous: 5-for-7 from the field and 1-for-3 from three. She even added two rebounds, three assists, and two steals, just to make sure she wasn’t left out of the post-game highlight reel.
The Countdown Begins: November 4 vs. Stetson Hatters
This season, the twins have promised fans excitement, competition, and maybe a few more Instagram stories. The official season opener against the Stetson Hatters on November 4 promises to be one for the books. Will the Cavinders bring the same energy, or maybe even crank it up a notch? Coral Gables will find out soon enough – and if the NIL deals are any clue, we might just see them sporting some new gear, too.
