As much as I despise the Hawkeyes and, will criticize them when the opportunity arises, I don't believe they ran him out. There isn't much known about Hubbards leaving of UI, there is speculation that it was due to Hubbard violating the short leash they put on him, there is speculation its because he didn't enjoy the enviroment and wants to be closer to home on the East Coast. Either way I think UI did the right thing by letting him go without any restrictions, especially if the latter scenario is the case. Of course Hawk fans instantly went from having a mega-boner for the guy and saying he was a changed man who simply made a bad choice to saying he never would've impacted the team or seen the floor and that he was human garbage.
Bottom line is that the Panthers could face him multiple times during the season instead of just one time. The guy looked like a solid player in the Iowa/UNI summer league, but that's hardly an indicator of him being successful during the regular season.
