One can only assume that the staff let’s the player weigh 282 because he remains strong enough to get the push and leverage necessary.
Strength wasn’t being questioned. It was weight.

Why you want to talk about my son like that mother****er? I'll be over to visit your ass.
I’m not sure that the ‘visit your ass’ comment came across in the manner you intended.
You're going to visit his ass?
Ince is a solid player. He will probably max out around 290-295. Zone schemes favor guys with quick feet over maulers. There aren't many Wirfs out there who can excel at both.
It plays a factor, but it's not the sole reason. I don't know what every team in a Power 5 conference looks like, but my guess is that we will see senior classes at Iowa continue to be small. The really good players end up going to the draft after their junior years so you end up with smaller senior classes. Between that and transferring of guys who don't end up getting lots of PT.Gee, could this be one of the reasons that the 2022 class commits is so small and missing on some top targets? Couldn’t be, has to be racial discrimination.
To the 2022 recruiting, it's a bunch of factors (my opinion only). To say the issues of last summer play no role is naive. Best way to remedy that is with success on the field and more time going by to show that whatever needed to change, did.
Honestly I kinda doubt it. Top recruits don't worry about who's already there. See Bama. It could be for a few but not a huge factor for most.Gee, could this be one of the reasons that the 2022 class commits is so small and missing on some top targets? Couldn’t be, has to be racial discrimination.
I don't really want to play this back and forth but every team has good players and Iowa needs Rb's and Cb's who also passed on Iowa so your argument simply doesn't hold water. Like someone else said in another thread. Weak sauce. There are plenty of reasons why Iowa might be struggling this year on the trail. Since you mentioned the racial bias shitstorm, anyone who believes that this kind of negative publicity doesn't impact recruiting has their head in the sand.
LOL - you're on a roll Jethro. Lack of strength was strongly implied. Why else would you specifically make a point to single out Ince's "incredibly light" weight of 282 lbs.?
Again, why didn’t some decommit last year? Why aren’t current players leaving with ease of transfer and a free covid year? The ‘22 class is going to be small and looking at the depth chart they are a young team. People are assuming it because they don’t like BF and maybe even KF. Show evidence.
You're not wrong. That's a small line on both sides of the ball. I normally don't think of Iowa being small in those 2 groups.
The weights come from early June when players reported. Very possible some of them have added 5-10 pounds via summer workouts
Not sure of Ince’s weight last year but I don’t recall that many problems when he was playing
Yeah, Ince also was injured so he could have lost a little weight if he wasn't able to work out.
Do the linemen pass the eyeball test when on the field? They certainly did last fall. Me thinks the listed player weights for OL and DL are understated for whatever reason.
Seems like I would say that is close to 290 but maybe that's just me. Of course he could have dropped a few pounds during Spring practice.
287 lbs is a bag of white castle and a box of twinkies away from 300 lbs
Yeah, I’d say 282/287 is not close to 300 in terms of football offensive linemen.
This has been the obvious one to me. We seem to rush the ball better when when have heavier lines.
He had knee surgery in December, but will be ready for camp KF said today.
Keep an eye on Black in the DL. He is going to be a good one.
