Although a graduate I thought I would post here :

Where did that Dutch lefty end up, is he still on the portal , or does the portal close? if you put yourself in the portal and have not been picked-up what happens to your current status in your team? As I would imagine it would put everyone in a very awkward position.

I do not believe he left Santa Clara. He competed with them in the national league last weekend. Usually if a guy is leaving he is no longer practicing with the team. I am guessing he tested the waters for one reason or the other and his coach is glad to have him back. Some guys are not always welcomed back, you can lose your scholarship and even get cut. However most are stars looking for opportunities that their current school is not providing or capable of providing.

Continuing the discussion from Portal '25-26 - Men:
Does anyone know if UCSD took another goalie off the transfer portal. I know they have an incoming freshman.
Mason Pellens(GK) from Biola is on the LBAF team for the national league finals and even got playing time against LAAC. Is it safe to say he might be transferring?

Liam Rogers - west valley water polo → Fordham
Imme van der Schaaf is playing for NYAC B this weekend and playing like he should be on the A team. Just saw he’s not on Santa Clara’s 2026 roster. Guessing he found himself a new school, maybe out east?
Brendon Gyapjas to Stanford
He is not on the 2026 Santa Clara University Roster. Where did he transfer to?

To compete with Herzer?
Herzer is now at Stanford. Imme is also going to Stanford?
On UCLA center defender: Ben Larson, Aussie Harry, Harlan Jackson and Jack Merrill is and add at center D for the Bruins. No one can reolace Gray or Jack Larsen, but Adam will make something good of this group I bet and ben is a beast Castillo also guards in a pinch i have seen.
Where are you seeing that about Gyapjas? I do not see anything posted anywhere.
Gyapjas was/is at San Jose State - are you sure you have the right guy? Santa Clara has a 2026 roster up but SJSU doesn’t.

I’d fall out of my chair if Gyapjas transfers to Stanford.
