Class of 2020 WR Bryce Gowdy (FL) Verbal to Ga Tech

[bnoro]

Terrible tragedy. Initial reports are that he jumped in front of the train. Believe the young man was to be a January enrolled at Tech. My heart goes out to his family.

If "initial reports" are people on twitter I'd prefer to ignore those folks before we find out what actually happened.

It's an absolute tragedy.

Man this is heartbreaking. Prayer for his family.

This reminded me of Omain Gullette. Omain was a DT who was murdered in Philadelphia the summer before enrolling at Syracuse.

This reminded me exactly of that. I was trying to remember the name of the SU recruit who died right before enrolling. Thanks.

the first report I read was their local news channel and the story was witnesses have said a pedestrian jumped in front of a train. Police are at the scene and investigating.

This is tragic regardless of the circumstances. If in fact there was depression involved it’s a blatant example of how someone’s social media persona can completely hide real pain.

As for the Tech recruiting class question I don’t think it’s so bad. We’re on a recruiting message board, the poster acknowledged the loss and then asked a valid question.

It obviously came too soon for some posters and that’s valid too.

To each their own but we don’t need to kill each other over this ..IJS

RiP Bryce. Sorry you left us so soon.

 

[Briancuse]

Just awful. A promising life cut way too short. Rip Bryce.

If I remember correctly, Coach P kept his number out of circulation for what would’ve been his time at SU.

Absolutely terrible news.
Time and place is everything.
Place is OK because this is an SU recruiting message board and he was an SU recruit. Alittle odd to question how it affects Ga Techs class though. Not terrible but excusable.
The timing though is terrible and the social filter that should exist to know that it is in fact too soon was not active.

We're gonna agree to disagree here. I literally have no issue with someone on a recruiting message board asking a general question about the logistics of scholarships in light of a tragedy. I'm not going to feel more or less sad based on that answer. It's a completely separate question.

FWIW officially ruled what we all expected by the Medical examiner

 

[Cuse12]

The last thing I expected to see when I opened this thread. Good lord. No matter how it happened and if it was intentional or not, it’s equally as large of a tragedy and saddening. RIP

 

[cusefan15]

RIP to this young man. Best wishes to his family going forward and those around him.

Pretty crazy he posted on his twitter page can't wait to get to Atlanta with a picture of his family, and him in a GT uniform. Than 7-8 hours later he takes his own life.

They already surpassed the original goal of 20K and have raised the goal to 50K so that safe and secure housing can be provided for his mother and young brothers.

If its really that, It just saddens me more. Mental Illness can be as scary as cancer

I think it's scarier. We are more likely to talk about cancer but are less likely to discuss depression or other forms of mental illness.

It could have just as easily been our coaching staff and fanbase facing this tragedy head on. I really feel for Ga Tech Football and his family and friends, just a horrible situation anytime a young person chooses this path. RIP.

I shed tears for you bryce. I wish you eternal rest, and i wish your family earthly peace.

I respectfully disagree with the timing not the place or topic. But like the tone of your message in this new year of respectful discussion. Just had that 'widow is hot' at the funeral of her newly deceased husband type vibe. Moving on.
