MIAMI -- Butch Davis wanted to return to Miami last year, when the Hurricanes needed a new coach.FIU is bringing him back instead.Davis was hired Monday as the new coach at FIU, agreeing to a five-year contract. FIU executive director of sports and entertainment Pete Garcia said Davis will be introduced Tuesday afternoon.Well tell you how it happened then, Garcia said.Garcia -- who has a long history with Davis, including stints working together with the Miami Hurricanes and then the Cleveland Browns -- used Davis as a consultant the last time he hired a coach, that being Ron Turner in 2013.When Turner got fired after an 0-4 start this season left him 10-30 at FIU, Garcia didnt want to consult with Davis this time. He was widely considered to be the immediate frontrunner for the position, and now the deal is done.ESPN, which has employed Davis as an analyst, said he told them he was leaving the network immediately for his new job. Garcia said that Ron Cooper, who has gone 3-3 as FIUs interim coach, will remain in place for the final two games of this season.Davis spent six seasons as Miamis coach from 1995 through 2000, then leaving for the Browns -- and stepping away from a Hurricanes team that dominated its way to the 2001 national championship under Larry Coker.Davis also coached for four seasons at North Carolina, getting fired just before the team opened practice for the 2011 season while the school dealt with allegations of improper benefits and academic misconduct. Davis was never implicated in that NCAA probe and has long maintained that he did nothing wrong.Davis, who turns 65 on Thursday, will face a rebuilding job.FIU went to bowl games in 2010 and 2011 under Mario Cristobal, who was fired in 2012 and is now an Alabama assistant. The Panthers have not been bowl-eligible since, going 16-42 since Cristobals dismissal.Some Miami fans lobbied openly last year for the Hurricanes to hire Davis, who acknowledged that he wanted to be considered. Instead, hell now have a chance to coach against the Hurricanes -- the series between the schools resumes in 2018 and 2019.Its not the first time Garcia has managed to make a splashy hire to coach at FIU. He landed Isiah Thomas as mens basketball coach in 2009, then fired him three years later after a 26-65 record.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Discount Air Max 95 . -- The Sacramento Kings are set to become the first major professional sports franchise to accept Bitcoin virtual currency for ticket and merchandise purchases.

Cheap Air Max 95 Wholesale . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style. The kids are here. OK, more kids are here.It has been a summer of fairly consistent debuts among prospects, and the past week added three more names to the fantasy-relevant pile: New York Yankees sluggers Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin, and Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson.Though the Yankees will certainly grant healthy amounts of playing time to both -- as well as soon-to-qualify-at-catcher catcher Gary Sanchez -- Judge is the guy to get, if only because of his massive power potential and the ballpark in which to exploit it. He hit home runs in each of his first two big-league games, becoming the first player to do that since Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story did it to begin this season, and during that time generated a healthy .214 well-hit average (the leagues average for non-pitchers is .155), an average exit velocity only slightly behind that of the leagues leaders and an average fly-ball distance of 306.2 feet (more than 25 feet greater than the leagues average of 288).Still, for all of Judges big power, he should also have a big strikeout rate, after posting a 23.9 percent number in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season and 24.7 percent during his minor league career. Chances are, he might be a somewhat streaky performer initially, as pitchers adapt to him and vice versa, but its not unreasonable to project another six to eight home runs from him this season.Judge debuts 173rd in my going-forward rankings this week, and 52nd among outfielders, but in a best-case scenario he might post numbers like those of Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis, a similar three-true-outcomes type (historically speaking, as this season he has rarely walked) ranked 99th overall and 27th among outfielders. In Rotisserie leagues, categories are all that matter at this stage, so owners fortunate enough to have landed Judge via FAAB/free agency can feel free to aim for Davis more optimistic valuation.Austin, meanwhile, fell short of a top-250 overall ranking and is 71st among outfielders, with a primary obstacle to his success the presence of Mark Teixeira on the Yankees roster. Austin has earned three of five starts at first base ahead of Teixeira, and his skill set might make him a safer bet for numbers like a .260 average and five home runs the rest of the year, but unless he can somehow sneak his way into a clear majority of the Yankees final 42 games, its going to be difficult for him to contribute to mixed-league teams.The Braves decision to promote Swanson mightve taken some owners by surprise, but I think its nothing more than the team finally trading Erick Aybar to pave the way for everyday at-bats for the 2015 No. 1 overall pick and primary return from the Shelby Miller trade. Swansons professional stat sample is extremely limited -- .277/.367/.435 with 10 home runs and 13 stolen bases in 127 games, only 84 of those in Double-A ball -- and its possible hell face a lengthier adjustment than a typical prospect. Still, hes capable enough in terms of power and speed to be an upgrade from Aybar for both the Braves and fantasy owners in a below-average scenario, and the best case could have him performing like a top-15 fantasy shortstop.Swanson enters the rankings as my No. 26 shortstop.Here are some quick thoughts about the weeks big movers in the ranks:Judging by his first 13 games numbers since his return from a fractured bone in his elbow -- and bear in mind that he played every inning of the most recent 12 -- Detroit Tigers outfielder J.D. Martinez isnt showing any signs of being limited as he recovers from injury. Hes batting .400 with four home runs during that time, but a better indicator is a comparison of his pre- and post-DL performance:Pre-DL (65 G): .234 ISO, .196 WHAV, 34.4 FB%, 24.2 LD%, 323.2 average FB Post-DL (13 G): .340 ISO, .260 WHAV, 38.5 FB%, 23.1 LD%, 318.2 average FBBilly Hamilton continues to soarr up the rankings thanks to his torrid stolen-base pace, now 29 in 28 games (to go along with a .dddddddddddd321 batting average) since the All-Star break. Hes the impossible name to rank -- and thatll only continue as the season winds down and the level of trade demand for him rises as teams seek to address categorical needs -- but the case can be made that hes got top-25-overall value going forward. Be extremely careful about pricing him on the trade market as his owner; he can have a substantial impact in a Rotisserie race with the way he has been performing.Anyone else happen to notice that the Boston Red Soxs remaining schedule -- especially after this coming weekend -- is somewhat light as far as their pitching potential is concerned? This is part of the reason for Rick Porcellos jump in the rankings, as heres what he and his team has left: @BAL-1, @DET-4, @TB-4, KC-3, TB-3, @OAK-3, @SD-3, @TOR-3, BAL-3, NYY-4, @BAL-4, @TB-3, @NYY-3, TOR-3. There are a few doozies in there, but its still quite a bit softer than what weve come to expect from an American League East teams late-season schedule in recent years.Jose Ramirez has always been a cheap source of stolen bases, something AL-only owners have been more apt to exploit, but during the past two months he has established himself as a bona fide fantasy star. Since June 15, the last time he sat even one inning (he sat out that days game), Ramirez is a .329/.372/.483 hitter with five home runs, 29 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 52 games, which projects to 16, 90 and 41 in those counting-number categories in a 162-game schedule. Whats more, hes now the Cleveland Indians everyday third baseman, so even with some regression to his .354 BABIP, hell have little trouble contending for -- even if falling slightly short of -- a top-10 finish at all three of his eligible infield positions (second, third and shortstop).Brandon Moss has started each of the St. Louis Cardinals past six games against a left-handed pitcher, an indication of how locked-in he is to an everyday role, especially with Matt Holliday injured. Moss sizable jump in the rankings isnt merely his return to full health; its the teams prioritizing him as a regular part of their lineup.New ESPN position eligibilityThe following players added new position eligibility within the past two weeks.
