bigbird 60,534 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 So right now he would fit into the H-back roll? In the mold of Eric Smith, not Lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvfoster 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardon1345162806 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Interesting that ILLINI coaches released him to 11 of 12 current SEC schools, excluding ALA. Ex-ILLI coach Petrino works there but why would that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald McDonald 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Interesting that ILLINI coaches released him to 11 of 12 current SEC schools, excluding ALA. Ex-ILLI coach Petrino works there but why would that matter? It's excluding Arkansas not Alabama. Paul Petrino was the OC at Illinois before leaving for Arkansas and Illinois didn't want him transferring anywhere that had a member of Ron Zook's staff. They feared that if he transferred to a place with a former coach then more players would try that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchdownAU 6 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Since it does look like we will run more pro style sets I think this is a great pick up. We have a lot of talent at the Tight End Position and I think this opens up Lutz to have a monster year at TE. I also think on helps out a great deal having an All American lead blocker on 2nd 3rd or 4th and shorts. I expect our Rbs to benefit the most from this. Also I have heard what a great young man this guy is. So this is a great move all around for Auburn. Also most important thing of the transfer keep his Mom in your prayers.

Turtle_Tiger 13 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Looks good. I'm still not sure this definately tips the hat on what type of offense we'll run. It does help if we are changing to have a true fullback on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we signed a JUCO player it would count... If you transfer it doesnt sort of wierd trying to understand.. Welcome Jay... And prayers for your mom and family...

WarEagleFan1345162782 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 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.

gravejd 3,270 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 This is really awesome. We needed someone to fill the role of a blocking HB so that it would open Lutz up more in the passing game. This guy will help all over the field but this really enhances our goaline offense. Great news for Auburn! Sorry to hear about his mom poor health though. Hope she is able to get better. Also, no expert on the new rules but i don't see how this guy could count towards the recruiting class. Unless the 25 rule includes transfers and recruits?

Craasher 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUenginerd 16 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah, just read about and came to here to ask about the transferring counting towards this year's class. That makes no sense (not that much of the rules do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-ILLI coach Petrino works there but why would that matter? Paul "worked" there, he got blown out with Zook. He was working for Bobby during the Cotton Bowl, I say welcome aboard, put him and H back, move Lutz to slot and our blocking for run plays improves on the edges. I hope and pray that his mom gets well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
