Do you think the Charlotte Bobcats can make a playoff push, given their remaining schedule? Follow Everick on twitter @Officially757Ev Do you think Charlotte having the Hornet’s name back is good for the city? Bringing back the Hornets name will be great for Charlotte. The Bobcats name is one of the corniest things I’ve ever heard of in my life. The original owner wanted to name the team after himself which is just wack. I feel like a return to the original name will bring pride back to the city and give them something to cheer about. Who is better the Charlotte Knights or the Greensboro Grasshoppers? Is that a trick question? Of course I’m rolling with the home team Greensboro Grasshoppers. My guy Flynn did his thing last season. Next season the Hoppers will definitely get a better record than last season. No knock on the Knights but it’s the Grasshoppers this way. What do you think of the South Carolina Gamecocks Women’s Basketball team? Do you see them making noise in the tournament months from now? Well there isn’t much negative you can say about a group of girls that are 22-2 right now. With pretty balanced scoring and the ability to hold down their home court these girls should be able to make noise in the tournament, there is no reason why they shouldn’t. I think the Bobcats chances of making the playoffs depend on everyone else in the conference. If the Cats can sustain what they’re doing now they should be able to grab the 8th seed but that also means that the Knicks have to remain horrible which isn’t as likely as it seems. I feel like the current roster the Cats have now is not sufficient and a trade for either a new wing scorer or a few shooters need to happen for this team to build on the momentum they built early on. Who is has the best chance of coming out on top of the ACC, come March? As far as the ACC conference I have to roll with the winning team right now in Syracuse. I like what Syracuse is doing but I feel like Duke has a lot of potential to take over with the scorers they possess on that roster. What impact do you think Clemson’s Sammy Watkins will have on a NFL team next season? I feel like Watkins can walk on to whatever NFL team he is picked by and be a top receiving option. This guy is definitely going to be picking up yards and getting touchdowns. The team that picks up Watkins will get a difference maker on offense. Sammy Watkins is a big time player so I expect good things for him and whatever team picks him. Page | 13
