How about just all-ACC? To your list I would add Nik Caner-Medley (UM[aryland*] Chris Paul(Wake) and Redick (Duke).

If you go national I have to add about half of the Gonzaga team, the Wisconsin guy (what is his name? Dark-haired, his beard-fiancee sings the national anthem), and of course most of the Ivy league championship team.

*Most people in ACC hoopland understand the UM is UMaryland. There are a few cute redheads that take exception since there is a new university on the block with the same initials.

Now ESPNZone -- to do this right, ya gotta give us some pics to go along with the picks.

I'll agree on State's Paul Davis -- he's such a stud. And only a junior -- we may have him around one more year.

bballrob -- here's a two-some for you: both Nik Caner-Medley and your favorite Badger Mike Wilkinson

That photo's from last year's Big Ten-ACC challenge game up in College Park. Both the boys have added some muscle since then. Check out Wilk's arms!

JJ Redick - The man is sex on legs!
Rashad McCants - The smile and the chiseled body
Ilian Evtimov
Nik Caner-Medley - Great body and a deep, sexy voice
Mike Wilkinson - Just one of the many hotties on Wisconsin

...add Evtimov's NC State teammate: Engin Atsur
http://gopack.collegesports.com/sports/m-b...ur_engin00.html

I'll add one more Badger -- cutie Clay Hanson -- seen here once again with Caner-Medley (I think that's him -- I'm not that familiar with his backside!)

My Illini don't feel they can win with good looking guys. Roger Powell is alright, but Nick Smith just cancels out everyone.

Some Big 10 guys to add, Graham Brown, Matt Kiefer and Chris Hartley.

Graham is a blonde 6'9" forward for Michigan. Unfortunately there aren't that many flattering pictures of him.

Matt Kiefer is a 6'10" junior center for Purdue. Not only is he a good basketball player, but also is a civil engineering major with academic honors.

Chris Hartley is a walk on at Purdue, but he started off on the right track when the first time I saw him was when he was without a shirt.


Chris Hartley

Matt Kiefer (as a freshman)...

Chris Hartley lost his shirt, darn! (as a freshman)...

Blondy Graham Brown....


And I definitely second Paul Davis! Yum...

KU's Christian Moody gets my vote.

(Sorry, that's the only link with photos I could find.)

Hey, Illini n Milwaukee, thanks for the shirtless pics...they're hot! Here's to all the cuties that are shirtless! You keep findin' 'em shirtless, I'll keep lookin'.

The headline on the front page of today's Austin American Statesman is...
Raiders Top Horns
A perfect headline for the pic under it (the Texas player is very tall hottie Jason Klotz):

Not only does the ACC have the best basketball, but we also have the best looking players!! I'll put my All-ACC Hottie Team up against any other conference:
J.J. Redick (Duke)
Engin Atsur (NC State)
Rashad McCants (North Carolina)
Nik Caner-Medley (Maryland)
Illian Evtimov (NC State)

JJ Redick
Travis Diener (out for the season, unfortunately...)

I will second the seconds on Evtimov and Atsur.

Of course I will kudos to MY Paul Davis . But will also add Spartans Drew Neitzel (an amazing Frosh point guard) and Tim Bograkos .

And to round out an All Big Ten Team, would be Wilkinson and Hanson, with Matt Trannon and the Illini's James Augustine as honorable mention.

Man, can you imagine having all of these guys on the same team, not just for looks, but for ability as well...makes me all woosy.

Are there any photos of Mr. "Sex on Legs"? I'd like to check this claim out for myself , maybe do some undercover investigation...

[ February 24, 2005, 09:34 AM: Message edited by: Eric Swanson ]

Maybe they call him \"Mr. Sex-On-Legs\" because he likes to celebrate by sexing up his teammates while standing up?


(Here's another Photo)

Well, my vote definatly goes to Chris Hartley on Purdue. Next would have to be JJ Redick, but Chris is adorable! Purdue Basketball

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Jarrett Jacks from Ga Tech. Cute guy, great name, compact body.

He hadn't been mentioned yet.

I'll agree with David Lee

Check out Aaron Robinson (ARob, I heard an announcer call him today) of Minnesota. Cute face and great body. Just my size.

Troy DeVries

Thank God NM made the tourney.

I'm so glad that this thread has returned to the board after a year or so hiatus.I'm putting together my own web salute to the guys that I rank as my Hotties of the Hardwood.I've been working on it for the past 2 weeks and it's nowhere near finished,but I wanted to let you guys know about it in time to coincide with Selection Sunday.

So far I've got 24 different albums and well over a thousand pics.It's a work in progress with tons of editing and adding still to do.I encourage you guys to check it out,and be sure to check back frequently for updates.It's very subjective so there will be plenty of disagreements,but I'm pretty sure you'll find a pic or two that makes it worthwhile. wink


As to the current discussion-here's my subjective take.JJ is overrated-he was hotter as a freshman,and isn't even the hottest Devil.Lee and Nik are hot,but the ACC lacks depth and doesn't even rank in my top 5. If you want to talk conferences FULL of hotties, check out the MAC and MVC. :cool:

As a whole,the NCAA is down a bit from the heyday of 2 or 3 years ago.Check out my alum folders to see what I mean.The BIG EAST has closed the gap a bit,but the BIG 10 is still solidly on top.Check out the seperate folders for each member of the all-BIG 10 team.Prime Midwest BEEF-these guys make my mouth water. There's a special salute to the team I rate as the HOTTEST TEAM ever.And a section on my choice for this seasons Hunkiest Team-it's those stormin Mormons from Logan-the Utah State Aggies.I'm sooo glad they won the Big West, because I plan on being at their pre-tournament public workout with my digi-cam binocs!!Please tournament committee-send Spencer and the rest of the Ags to INDY!!!

Here's the link Guys- enjoy

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/hoosierbossfan/my_photos Hardwood Hotties

Thanks, OlympicFan, for the Redick photos. I now understand the reasons for his nickname. Of course, I'd stll like to do some undercover investigation ...

Sorry I don't know how to post pics, but here are my nominees (or additions)

Lee Humphrey #12 Florida
Shane Powers #21 Mississippi State
Todd Abernethy #10 Mississippi
Chevon Troutman #2 Pittsburgh
Justin Gray #1 Wake Forest
Larry O'Bannon #34 Louisville
and ? Fuss-Cheatham #2 Ohio State

1st Team
C Nik Caner-Medley
F Ilian Evtimov
F Chevon Troutman
G Shane Powers
G Larry O'Bannon

Coach K knows he wants to kiss Sex On Legs

I'd take Shavlik Randolph before Redick. Randolph may have that whiner look a lot of the time, but he's grown up nicely over the past couple years.

My team may be #1, but it's dead last in hotness.

How about both of them.

Oh, and I would also second for Chris Hartley of Purdue.

Real men wear pink!

I also like their big guy, Matt Keefer or something like that. He's a real smart guy majoring in chemical engineering.

I noticed todays Picture This is a pic of one of my favorite Hotties-sexy Spencer Nelson.Not the most flattering of pictures-in fact he looks kind of dorky to me-not at all the way he looks on the court.Make no mistake Spencer is a flat out Stud,and a prime reason I'm picking the Aggies to upset the overrated Wildcats in Boise. :cool: So in the interest of full disclosure... Spencer sweat soaked and sexy

I apologise for my limited computer skills.I couldn't figure out a way to link to just the photo without going back and trying to find the original source-so you need to maximize to get the full pic.Also,if you scroll thru the other 3 pics in the set-you'll get the other pics I wanted to post,but was too lazy to link each one individually.

I'm thinking the Gerry Mac pic may be a repost from an earlier Picture This,but I couldn't get the outsports link to open so I thought I'd post it just in case.Anyone else ever have problems with pics from the outsports links opening-it happens to me quite often and drives me batty? :confused:

The shot of Shavlik showing some nipple (a common theme wink ) is for Illini who made the point-and I concur-that Shav is hotter than JJ.Of course for me,Melchionni is the hottest Devil-would LOVE to have a shirtless shot of Lee doing his Tarzan flex.

The last shot is for all the Chris Quinn fans-I remember there used to be a few on the board.I never thought Chris quite measured up,especially when he had to compete with Irish Studs like Matt Carroll and David Graves-but I must admit he's starting to grow on me.

[ March 17, 2005, 09:04 AM: Message edited by: Tim ]

Excuse my ACC bias, agreed about Randolph and Redick from Duke. Also would include the freshman, McClure. Also, DEFINITELY Engin Atsur and Evtimov are amazingly cute. Chris Thomas is probably my favorite from outside of the ACC. Troy Devries, Matt Kiefer and Chris Hartley are all also quite worthy of being named to the All-American team as well. Yummay!

Am I the only one who thinks Charlie Villanueva looks a little like Young Frankenstein?

I can't believe Wisconsin's senior guard Clayton Hanson hasn't made it in here.

Besides Chris Hernandez he's the hottest guard in NCAA right now

hey...thanks for the reminder...hot.

UVM's TJ Sorrentine shows some skin, and gets worked up before the Syracuse game.

Gotta love the names this year

Taquan Dean Headshot In play

Luther Head Headshot In play

Kevin Pittsnogle Headshot In play

And for its unusual simplicity:

Paul Davis Headshot In play

Paul Davis always looks like he is about to cry, but hey, he's cute.

Louisville's Larry O'Bannon

Move that camera to the left a little please

The \"I know I'm cute\" smile

Pet his head and he gives you a hug? If it were only so easy.

Rubbing his left hand in a nice warm pit

Check out the muscles in that sweaty neck

Great shot: Perfect arms, perfect body in a soft glowing light

Saw Larry O'Bannon for the first time yesterday and that boy is hot as hell. That body is chiseled with muscle, kind of has that Ray Allen body type.

Here's a shirtless pic of the stud:

Phenomenal! Purpose-built for basketball. Hardly any body fat. Absolutely beautiful.

He might agree with you about Ray Aleen since he lists Allen as his favorite basketball player.

That Cardinal picked the right place to peck

[ March 28, 2005, 10:34 AM: Message edited by: sportinlife ]

Michigan State's Drew Nietzel

Blocking Rondo

Guarding against Kentucky

Flashing a smile at an interview

Practicing

Shadowed by Shavlik Randolph

And coach

Tom Izzo makes a pit stop

[ March 28, 2005, 02:08 PM: Message edited by: sportinlife ]

nik's gotta be one of the hottest college basketball players out there. definitely the hottest md player possibly ever!!! others are jj redick (even though i despise him, i gotta admit he's hot...but he needs a tan badly). guillermo diaz is extremely hot too. chris thomas is also really cute.

Hey terpfan-Welcome to the board.I rewatched the CBS feature on the resurrection of Terp basketball on Sat and actually remember watching the Super Bowl Sun matchup between the Terps and NC State that someone referred to.I used to root for the Terps back in those days when they could never beat UNC or NC State-(Duke was not a factor.)I just wish the Terps would've won their title in 2001 and been far less hungry in 2002.If so,my Hoosiers would've had our 6th title-that was the only thing wrong with that story.

Share your enthusiasm for Nik-although I think it's telling that both he and Melchionni (my picks for ACC hotties) both come from non-ACC areas.Was wondering if you know of any pics that exist of the night in Portland where Nik got drunk,ripped his shirt off and was arrested for Disturbing the Peace.I've done some research and read a lot of the press accounts,and while they all mention the fact that there were hundreds of spectators taking pictures-I haven't had any luck in turning up any pics. :confused: frown

thanks! and believe me, i'll share all my enthusiasm for nik and other basketball hotties.
unfortunately, i don't have any pictures of him ripping off his shirt in a drunken rage ( i'd kill for one though). heck, i can't even find a shirtless picture of him. but i'll keep looking wink

unfortunately, i don't think there are many pics from that incident that are out.....oh well, hopefully some will pop up!

I've got to pop off a vote for Chris Hartley as well. As a Purdue alum, it is my duty and obligation. Plus, I'm a sucker for some college hottie who doesn't like to wear a shirt while working up a sweat on the court.

While you all have mentioned a lot of great looking guys, you seem to have forgotten the west coast completely. Check out Stanford's Chris Hernandez and Matt Haryasz, those two are really hot.

I;m glad someone already mentioned Larry O'Bannon of the Louisville Cardinals.

However, the pic shows his great body but not his awesome face. He is just very very handsome

First we need pictorial proof that he lives up to his name. wink

I gotta second Chris Hernandez. I remember seeing him last year when Stanford made their run and he's a hot stud. Great body and face.

Larry O'Bannon is definitely the total package, just like Ray Allen. Cute face and chiseled physique.

Oh no! Young Frankenstein...uhhh I mean Charlie Villanueva is jumping to the NBA. Can someone tell me why he has no eyebrows?

Oh my God! These have be two of the hottest photos I've seen in the tournament:

Louisville - Otis George's hand slipping onto Taquan Dean's butt

And Taquan giving the power saaaalute!

And more on sexy Larry O'

Wonder if Larry feels a boner behind him

Coverboy - wish I had a bigger one...

Make like the Easter bunny and fill my basket baby

Pits of glory

Where did all these hands come from?

Wow...if these are the two sexiest photos you've seen during March Madness, you must have seen no other photos, then.
