I bet that is why so many put their name in the portal but are still part of their current team and keep the right to stay if no one picks them up.
Once you fill out the paperwork for the portal, the school can remove you immediately from all team activities. You don't have the "right" to go back to your current team if you're not happy with the portal. As soon as the paperwork is submitted, you only have a "former" team.
That said, it can be pretty bad optics to drop a player like that. Most coaches would allow the portaling player to still work out at the team facilities, and would usually accept the player back.
