RIP Rondale Moore

[Mister_Man]

Seems to be self inflicted. His freshman season at Purdue was incredible.

Very sad news.

Same here. If we could get counseling to the victims before suicide, there has to be a way out no matter how bad things are. But somehow we don't see it coming.

Horrible.

RIP

Very sad. Was looking forward to him playing for the Vikings last year, only to see him get hurt in first preseason game. His freshman year at Purdue was pretty special.

So tragic. May he RIP, and may this serve as a cautionary reminder that we should always be mindful and reaching out to each other.

He sure got smacked down by the injury bug. Prior to that, his freshman season was amazing. Returns, receptions, rushes, whatever, he was literally a big play that was going to happen every single game.

Sad news. And sad that someone so young believes life is over at 25. Breaks your heart.
