Mar 11 2049: Season Wrap-up - by ABCplayer on December 30th, 2025

To wrap-up our season, the Albany Great Danes public relations staff interviewed the players, coaches, and the president:

“My second year as president was very rough, and I take responsibility—however, it wasn’t necessarily bad. On many occasions, we were only losing by low double to high single digits against teams that were far better than us. Although our senior players, R. Roberts, James Dai, and Sammy Edmondson, would be graduating and no longer play next season, we still have really prospective young players that’s ready to fill in their shoes. Although sadly, we’re going to be demoted, I’m really excited for our younger players to snatch promotion to our conference again.” —ABCplayer, president

“It was a rough year, and I’m surprised by how fast my graduation is approaching, but I believe in my younger teammates, especially Grayson Barnett, who had 6 or 7 20-pt games this year as a rookie. Finally, I want to thank my coaches that game me a lot of playing time this year.” —James Dai, out going senior

“It was the worst season in my whole coaching career, and I’m getting old, but I promise to all of the world that we’re going to wrestle that conference promotion toward us after a disappointing demotion this season and to bite into that top-3 spot in the conference—all eyes on Albany” — C.C. Dykes, head coach.


Dec 05 2047: Remembering the Legends of “Guy” - by ABCplayer on October 9th, 2025

Our last president, “Guy”, brung the Albany Great Danes to a championship. I look up to and admire him very much, and am looking forward to following and surpassing his footsteps.


Dec 05 2047: Who We Want to Be - by ABCplayer on October 9th, 2025

We are aiming to foster a fast-paced, teamwork and outside shooting focused playing style. I believe that rebounding and defense is one of the most important aspects of the game. As such, I want to actively recruit players that have the potential to become a great defender. Thank you for our fan and alumni’s continued support.

Nov 30 2047: Albany is going to WIN - by ABCplayer on October 8th, 2025

Hello to the world, we might not be the favorites, we might not be formal. But with creativity and focus on system, we’re going to win against all…I hope to make this team into a 3-and-D focused systematic team, with an emphasis on defense and balance with driving inside.
