CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The University of Miami Hurricanes wrapped up their fourth day of preseason camp at the Greentree Practice Fields Tuesday morning. Miami will put on full pads for the first time Wednesday.

"We worked again in the red zone and added third-down situations in there," UM head coach Randy Shannon said. "We got physical a little bit on the inside. The run guys did a good job on both sides of the ball."

Freshmen wide receiver Leonard Hankerson and defensive end Adewale Ojomo participated in their first practice after being cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse on Monday afternoon. Hankerson prepped at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale and led Broward County with 803 receiving yards on 39 receptions while scoring 14 touchdowns. Ojomo signed from nearby Hialeah High School, where he had 60 tackles and four sacks as a senior.

Yeah, and it seems to have gone pretty well for the Canes.

"We did a lot of good things on offense, and the defense responded later on in practice," Miami head coach Randy Shannon said after practice. "It was an up-and-down practice on both sides of the football. We had too many penalties on both sides of the football. It was too many things that we can control. We just have to bear down and get it done. But we'll be fine."

"When you put on pads, you have to make each drill live... Drills you don't want to be live, you have say, `Hey, we're tagging on that.' The guys competed today. They flew around. But we have to keep working. It's a process trying to get the whole team going and understanding the mentality of what we're going to be. They're doing a good job, but we have to be more consistent."
