It IS ok to celebrate a little folks!
That is some damn fine recruiting, and certainly fills a couple of clear needs. While it is certainly a legit argument that CT's might have more immediate impact, this class should serve to put Duke WBB back on the map, or at least back into the upper echelon (if we ever left it...).
I'll drink to that "good health" as well!! We are certainly due!
