It sounds like is excited about his team and players.

Question: How important is it to have added reps have been for receiver Jeff Badet after missing last season with an injury?

Mark Stoops: “It was really good for Jeff. Overall you can see him getting the dust off and just getting out there and playing. Same with Alex (Montgomery). Alex has been out there the past couple days in a limited role. So it’s good to see Alex getting back out there and getting some reps in before the summer, just to get that confidence going.”

Question: What about Badet and Garrett Johnson being reliable receivers?

Stoops: “It’s a big thing. Garrett did it again today, did it Saturday — getting the ball quickly and creating some things — and he’s been very explosive. And Jeff has that kind of mobility as well. So the more and more confident he gets, that gets us another guy out there.”

Question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of naming a starting quarterback after spring practice?

Stoops: “It’s probably bigger for everybody here (in the media) or some people that really want to read about it and talk about it on air. But it really doesn’t affect our team because where we’re at here in the spring, we only have two guys out there. We don’t have enough arms to go around. These guys are getting so many reps — and you need to be confident in both guys. And I think there’s some merit to that surely with getting that leadership going through the summer and letting the guys know where they stand and being fair with them if we know. I think we’re getting closer to that point. We’ll sit down with both quarterbacks after the spring.”
