Yesterday, we brought you photos of Lauren Conrad and her new mystery man and asked for help in identifying this tall, handsome devil. A couple of you think you have done it.
Rumor has it that Lauren's newest "accessory" is Josh McRoberts, a former Duke basketball standout chosen by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 37th pick in the 2007 NBA Draft.
So far, photo evidence that Josh McRoberts is the fellow seen with LC is inconclusive. See the pictures below, of him playing Georgia Tech... and playing the field with our girl in L.A...
My, sports and celebrity gossip continue to intertwine. Although we're happy to be writing about a possible young romance for a change, and not the war or words / baby mama drama surrounding Matt Leinart and ex-girlfriend Brynn Cameron.
Or the disgrace to humanity that is Michael Vick.
Anyway. College basketball fans may recall that despite his stature and natural talent, the 6'10" McRoberts was often thought of as a soft player at Duke... Lauren Conrad robably hopes he isn't a soft player when it comes to her. If you know what we mean!
Fans, The Hollywood Gossip needs your help. How do you know for sure that this is Josh McRoberts? We're obviously curious. Leave a comment with the info you've got - and help our eager celebrity news reporters be the first to get The Hills scoop!

Oh that is Josh McRoberts, I'm 110% sure. I've been a Duke fan for years and a Josh fan since he put on a Duke uniform. And he does look different now that he's allowed to have facial hair and he stopped shaving his head.

It's definitely josh, i always see him when he comes back to Indy and he always grows out the facial hair when the basketball season is off. His smile also looks the same as well. It's 100% Josh McRoberts

He too damn huge, he will crush her.

If on their date he travels, flops, and cries like a baby, it is definitely McRoberts.

Ay yo, Lauren Conrad, pure wifey material. I see it like that at Clemson. They running all over.

If his cock tastes like WoJo, it's McBob.
