After deactivating his account due to an issue that transpired with Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder following the Alamo Bowl, he fired it back up, although now he probably wishes he hadn't. Bruinsnation.com captured a screenshot of what is presumably an accidental tweet of LSU 2015 guard commitment Maea Teuhema in a UCLA uniform, who Mora is trying to flip before National Signing Day. By doing so, Mora Jr. stepped across some strict NCAA guidelines prohibiting them from uttering a players name -- or in this case photo-shopping a prospect and sending it live via social media.
