One-on-one with Colin Baxter:

GOAZCATS.com caught up with Colin Baxter and spoke with him about signing with Arizona. Here are some quotes from the new Wildcat offensive guard.

On why he chose the Wildcats:

"I just really like the atmosphere, the coaches and the players. I think that it is an up and coming program and I definitely wanted to be part of it."

On what he's doing for signing day:

"I think my coach is going to have the paper come up and take picture of me signing and stuff."

On the timing of his decision:

"Well there was nowhere else I really wanted to go more. Why wait around when I knew I wanted to go to Arizona? Also, it was nice to get the recruitment out of the way to focus on my senior season. I also really got along with both Coach (Eric) Wolford and Coach (Mike Tuiasosopo cause they are both a little nuts like me."

When he's coming to Tucson for good:

"I'm coming down there a little before the 4th of July and do summer school and start lifting down there."

On his expectations at Arizona:

"I want to win a championship."
