Austen Swankler has transferred to D3 school Chatham U after 1 year at Tech and 2 years at Bowling Green. I remember some wanted the Gophers to go after him last year... NO THANKS. Kid has some baggage.

I was recently informed by a GPLer that I'm related to Airey

The question was posed to Luke Strand here in Mankato about Swankler last off season.  Strands response, "Not a chance in hell, he got my friends fired in Bowling Green".  Seems to me that Swankler was deemed radioactive by most every program except Tech.

Apparently they don’t understand science in Houghton.

Who needs science when you have math according to most engineers.

Science is just applied mathematics

If a player doesn't transfer in the portal, do they just stay on their existing team? Or is there a limit to the number of back-up players a team can have?

I believe once you enter the portal you have basically said goodbye to your previous team so if you don’t get picked up you’re s-o-l.

Would come down to numbers/scholarships, but players have entered The Portal and withdrawn/returned to previous team. Of course, if you're a fringe player and the staff has filled your spot, unlikely to return if no other opportunities were appealing.

That surprises me - if you didn’t like your coach/minutes/etc. enough to enter the portal I’d be surprised a player would want to go back; I’d be curious how the team would subsequently treat/respect a player who did that.  
shows what I know.  🤷‍♀️😂

It is possible that a player is told what their role would be. They think they can get better elsewhere and the coaches tell them to try. They try and fail and come back to the reduced role. 

While there would likely be hurt feelings that wouldn't necessarily have to be the case.

 this. all depends on the circumstances. Maybe Bob tells a player what the role is, they ask if they could look around, Bob agrees and they don’t like the options they see and ask to come back. Seems simple enough and I think all players get that everyone wants to play so would envision this wouldnt be real controversial

5 men and 2 women have removed themselves from the portal and returned to their previous teams this offseason.

Which shows how rare it is.  And in hockey there is way less hurt feelings over the portal than say basketball (who also has like 1500000000 people enter) and it is similar numbers.

If the players does things the right way there is a chance they could come back but it is not very likely.
