UCLA Coach Jim Mora deletes Twitter Account
Title says it all. Mora just deleted his Twitter account 30 minutes ago, leading a lot to believe he's headed to the NFL.
This would be HUGE, 5 Star QB Josh Rosen could possibly come (Edit: Westwood brings up that Rosen is an EE so this would be a longshot at best. Got too excited).
But 5 Star LB KLS, and Chris Clark would be heavy favorites to land at MIchigan.
So cue speculation, hope Mora just got himself a NFL job. Those three recruits would build momentum for the class.
If we land just two of those three that would be huge for Harbaugh's first year.

Thanks, I didn't think he had already signed the papers.
Best case is Rosen pulls off what Gunner Kiel *sp did a couple years ago. Enrolled early at LSU, then switched to another college and didnt have to sit out a year.

Doesn' t matter that he is a EE at all. If Mora leaves you don't think Rosen will have second thoughts? He already stated one of the ways he wouldn't end up at UCLA is if Mora left.

This issue came up when Kiffin/Orgeron left Tennessee and tried to lure EE recruits to USC:
Former Tennessee recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron has contacted multiple UT mid-term enrollees and encouraged them not to attend class today so that they can easily leave UT and enroll at Southern California, multiple sources told the Knoxville News Sentinel today... By attending class today, the nine mid-term enrollees, who have been at UT since Monday, would have to follow strict transfer rules, which include sitting out a year.
UCLA's winter quarter classes begin on Jan. 5, so Rosen presumably is still free to transfer.

And there is the Eddie Vanderdoes situation.

Josh Rosen a heavy favorite? Didn't it come out that the financial paperwork was processed for him?
January 3rd, 2015 at 9:59 PM ^
Bummer, I was not aware that paper work had been signed. Edited the post to reflect that.
January 3rd, 2015 at 9:58 PM ^
Rosen already enrolled at UCLA. Mora probably deleted his Twitter account b/c of the fallout from the handshake fiasco with Bill Snyder at the end of the Alamo Bowl.

January 3rd, 2015 at 10:00 PM ^
That's what I was thinking.
January 3rd, 2015 at 10:02 PM ^
Idk maybe he doesn't like getting Twitter harrassed by people with Vine videos.
January 3rd, 2015 at 10:07 PM ^
I really don't think Mora is leaving UCLA, think it was just the UCLA PR department overreacting to a tweet posted in haste that essentially called college footballs nice grandpa a dirty coach. Mora looks dumb for calling Snyder dirty and UCLA knows it's a bad look for the program so they deleted the tweet and account. My bet is It'll be back up in a day or two with an apology to Coach Snyder.

There's no indication that he's leaving.

The game was still within 1 TD at the end when UCLA got in victory formation. Then one of the KSU safeties hopped over the Oline into Hundley. This got Mora really fucking pissed. So when he goes to shake Snyder's hand he goes "What the fuck was that about?" and storms off. Apparently Snyder didn't authorize it. Knowing Snyder's integrity, it is prolly true.
Here is the link: http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2015/1/3/7484091/bill-snyder-disappointe…
He later tweeted that he would do anything to protect his players and that he talked to Coach Snyder about it later.

I'm calling BS on that tweet by the state trooper though...Looking at that vine, I don't see anyone in uniform anywhere near the handshake. Unless I'm missing something, which is possible, because whiskey.
January 3rd, 2015 at 10:28 PM ^
The first run, Mora didn't even go to Snyder to shake hand and talk... The 2nd run was when Mora was talking to Snyder... I wrote on the sbnation log that KSU has the full right to do legally to get to the ball.. Mora would talk about player safety don't have much to say when his players were called for personal foul and unsportsmanlike conduct (I believe 5 times in total for the game)... Just stupid of him...

Still don't think Rosen would be a favorite let alone a "heavy" one to land at Michigan.

He didn't like Harbaugh leapfrogging him in followers?
January 3rd, 2015 at 10:04 PM ^
self derp.
January 3rd, 2015 at 10:01 PM ^
He gone.
January 3rd, 2015 at 10:04 PM ^
Ian Rapoport is reporting Mora is headed to UM as the Raiders are negotiating to land Jim Harbaugh. Tune in to SportsCenter for further details.
They just won't give up...
January 3rd, 2015 at 10:11 PM ^
Is this serious?

Too funny but maybe true?

I think because in many people's minds Morris' physical abilities are superior accross the board, especially arm stength. So theoretically, Morris as a higher ceiling, and one that is worth getting excited about if he pans out. But, Malzone is BALLER (thanks coach), and I agree he's been overlooked to some degree.
January 4th, 2015 at 10:49 AM ^
I posted several days ago about Malzone, but mark my words, he may very well end up leading this team at some point!
January 4th, 2015 at 11:09 AM ^
Shane looked awful this year. Hopefully Harbaugh can salvage him. If not, Malzone and Speight will have to step up, unless we can land a JC player or transfer.
