Here's a brief quote from JT about each player on signing day.

rivals

For weeks and moths the Ohio State coaching staff has not been allowed to talk about the 19 players that all signed on the dotted line to become Ohio State football players per NCAA rules. The class started with Ben Buchanan's commitment back in March of 2007 and ran all the way up to National Signing Day with the pledge of Orhian Johnson (plus the Buckeyes are hoping to stretch the class to 20 before it is all said and done).

On Wednesday the restrictions were taken off the staff and Jim Tressel and his staff was finally allowed to talk about their blue-chip class. Below are a few excerpts on each of the 19 players.
