bird36 5 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hopefully he will be part of the 3rd and short solution the Tigers so desperately need to fix. If not as a runner than a blocker. There were many reasons Auburn's offense struggled last year but 3rd and short was a big one. Sounds like he is going to be a nice addition to the team.

gman87 398 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Fullback? I hope he wants to play Linebacker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnandjagsfan 13 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Per oanow.com "According to AuburnSports.com, Prosch has applied for a hardship wavier with the NCAA, which -- if granted -- would make him eligible to play immediately." As far as him playing linebacker, will not happen, that is why he chose Illinois in the first place because he wanted to play FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wareagle751345162833 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Just read on Rivals per Jeffery Lee that he WILL count towards our 2012 signing class. Anyone know for sure? Great news and definitely a "tip of the hat" as to the new offensive scheme Auburn will utilize in 2012: "Prosch had told the Alabama Press-Register that he wanted to transfer to be closer to his mother who is recovering from brain cancer and to find a system that better suits him than the spread offense new coach Tim Beckman will use." Does Prosch count towards our 25? Nope, he will be a transfer. Only counts against the 85 limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Looking for a way to get Lutz more in to the offense...this addition to the team would seem to do the trick. Lutz is a tremendous athlete and should be able to function as a true TE....and should be a terror this season. I predict that there is an OC in our future that will know exactly how to make this work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM said he will only count to the 85 but he is double checking that...Looks like JLee is wrong yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFightingSoldiers 685 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 This will really help ease the pain of losing Dyer That's funny. Funny because the pain isn't that big? Dyer was telented for sure. And he is a proven back on the team. Howerer, Auburn is in the same situation we were in in the backfield after 2004... then somebody named Kenny Irons decided to go off. My point being, when is the last time Auburn didn't have a REALLY good running game? Running back is the easiest position for a freshman to come in and show out. And let's not forget, we just ran all over the number one rush defense in the ACC... without Dyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseballman8388 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Definitely won't count towards the 25. He is not a recruit and has played football at another D1 school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Prosch count towards our 25? Nope, he will be a transfer. Only counts against the 85 limit. According to Jeffrey Lee, he will count towards the 2012 class. no, he would count as a transfer, not a signee. Yea I'm not really sure of the rules for counting transfers, they're confusing. I know we had to count Blakely on last year's class even though he was a transfer and everything I've seen indicates Prosch will count as well. MB didn't count towards our 25, he only counted towards our 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Hatch 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Here is an article about him being a workout warrior for the Illini and some pretty impressive numbers. http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/29305/workout-warrior-illinois-fb-jay-prosch Goes along with the video I posted earlier about his mom saying a doctor told him he had a large amount of muscle fibers for a kid when he broke his arm. Take a look at the second grade fishing picture where he actually has abs as a second grader Everyone watch the video above. I am VERY proud to have this AUsome young man joining our team!

Connecticut Tiger 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I feel for Jay and his family I'm sorry for circumstances that brought him to Auburn. Jay Welcome To the Auburn Family. WAR EAGLE! If an All American, Academic All American and class person like Jay thinks Auburn is the right place for him let the 5* recruits line up and take a number to get in.

au_bsci_04 407 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Maybe this will leave Lutz more opportunities to be a true TE good thought, I'd think it does. He has some good stats, It'll nice to have a true FB again. Looks like this may be the first step/sign of the transition to a pro-style offense...

Since a part of the reason he is leaving Illinois is because they are going to the spread, it is a pretty easy and logical conclusion that we are not going to be an all out spread team. As has been posted elsewhere I think we are going pro-style with some spread elements. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald McDonald 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 This will really help ease the pain of losing Dyer That's funny. Sorry but that's the truth. It's always difficult to replace the leading rusher. Do we have a good stable of backs? Certainly we do. Do we have a proven back? McCalebb is proven but he can't carry a load of 25 carries a game.
