Title: Luke Winn looks at 07-08

He has MU ranked #11, right behind Michigan State.  http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/luke_winn/05/01/power.rankings/2.html

His comments:

This ranking should come with an asterisk, since it's contingent on Dominic James' return to the Golden Eagles. The pocket-sized point guard declared for the NBA Draft last week without signing with an agent, and is looking for a first-round guarantee to stay in. All of which will make James one of the most intriguing stories at the pre-draft camp in Orlando. He could, like UCLA's Jordan Farmar did last season, play his way up to a top-25 pick; James could also pull out and return to a team that contends for the Big East title, like Pitt's Aaron Gray did last year. The argument for James remaining in the draft is that it's a "weak year for point guards" -- those were his words -- but I think he's good enough to eventually be a first-rounder amongst the loaded crop in '08. It would be worth it for him to stick around for last hurrah with running mates Jerel McNeal and Wes Matthews.

He has Louisville at #4 and ND at #16.  I know it doesn't mean much, but it's that slow time of year....
