For the Louisville Cardinals, Angel McCoughtry is heaven sent. The reigning Big East Player of the Year averaged a ridiculous 23.8 points and 4.1 steals per game last season.
Name: Angel McCoughtry
Age: 22
Hometown: Baltimore, Maryland
Height: 6’1”
Shoe size: 10.5
Position: Guard/Forward
My Home Court: Northwood Elementary School in Baltimore
Playing Experience: I’ve been playing since I was 8. Northwood Elementary School, AAU for the Baltimore Cougars, St. Francis Academy, Patterson Prep and now Louisville. I first signed with St. John’s but didn’t qualify.
Current Team: Louisville Cardinals
Favorite Sneakers: The Coops and the Swoopes
Favorite Player: Lisa Leslie, Dawn Staley
Favorite Team: The Atlanta Dream and Atlanta Hawks. I have a big crush on Al Horford.
Go-to-Move: Between the legs cross, called the double-counter, and then the floater
I play: Because the Lord has blessed me with a gift to play basketball and because I love the game. I play for my family who loves me and if I had the choice, I would play for free. But one day I realize I have to make a living. There is no price for something you love.
Coming up I admired: Kobe Bryant
My basketball moment: Probably the game in the Big East Tournament when we beat Rutgers. Nothing else really exciting happened before then. That game put us on the map.

Yuor going to see me on the court one day so keep lookin
Hey angel, I love the way you play the game on the court. Your attitude, tenacity,and motivation with your every move. You didnt give up after your coach said “Don’t shoot the ball……” I admire you for your strength and drive. You are the basketball player that I look up to. I just love everytime you step on that court, your ready to play some ball. I would love to meet you one day. I’ve met the la sparks with cp and the Houston Comets, etc., but I would love to meet you one day. Maybe Atlanta will play the silver stars soon, then I can travel to san antonio :).
I dont know if you look at this website regularly, but I’ve really been trying to find a team to be a part of since my regualar basketball season has been over, I really didnt get enough minutes to really get my name out there, but I would be more than priveleged to play college basketball this fall 2009. I’m a very talented player and I’m not giving up on my dream until I get it.
Basketball is my life, passion, heart, love, desire, goal, inspiration, energy, drive, intensity, love, escape, freedom, and shelter.
I live, eat, breath, sleep basketball 24/7/365 NONSTOP.
“The passion is what drives me.”
“When my legs get tired, I let my heart do the rest.”
“I will NEVER stop chasing my dream until I get it.”
I play with:
100% PASSION
100% HEART
And simply the pure love of the game
An AAU basketball team will prepare me that much more for college basketball and I believe I can succeed If I’m given a chance to find a team to showcase my talent. So if you or any other fans on this site know of a 19U AAU Girls Basketball in Texas. Please blog it here on this site or please contact me on my email purepassion4thagame32@yahoo.com
