Closing One Chapter, Opening Another

On today's episode of In The Circle, we catch up with new Washington Assistant Coach and former Athletes Unlimited stand-out Courtney Gano. As AU gets ready to kick off their Championship Season this week, they do so without one of their pillars. Courtney chats with Eric Lopez about what led to her decision to retire, her walk-off grand slam to end AUX last season, her next chapter as a coach, and much much more.    Afterwards, Victor breaks down some new faces who will debut during Athletes Unlimited Championship Season including a pair of former teammates in Tallahassee. We also will discuss Stanford's newest addition and when we could see the remaining marquee arms in the Transfer Portal make their decisions.    Our episode wraps up with Victor's look at the WPF. He shares why it might not be a guarantee of a Smoke-Spark Championship Series, the latest Co-Players of the Week, the suddenly red-hot USSSA Pride and more. He also shares who he voted for in this year's Golden Mic Awards which might make the end of the show a little tense.
