EMU features twin sisters who transferred from Long Beach State and who grew up in Oceanside, a few miles from La Costa.

And apparently that’s where they still live. Saw a tweet that they never moved to Michigan, take all their classes remotely and just meet up with rest of the team for tournaments.

Maybe that’s exaggerated. Wish I could find the tweet but it showed up in my “For You” algorithm and now I can’t find it.

One people-finder site lists only SoCal as the residence of one of the 22yo twins. One of today's news stories says "The coach inherited a pair so close that they room together, take the same classes and have the same major."  That would be very convenient if they, uh, don't really attend classes in person.

However, I'd think the NCAA would want to avoid athletes that just fly in for performances.  For some sports, there is minimal reason to be part of the team or even an on-campus student.  Imagine if Stanford gymnasts trained full time in Europe but only flew in for the major tournaments.  That's a new possibility for pay-to-play $port$.

I hope this is just speculation and they are legitimate students that attend classes in person.
(At this moment, the twins are each tied with the Stanford players;  the other 3 Stanford players are each 2-up.  But it is very early and anything can still happen.)
