Receiver Akeem Hayes recently opened up to Cats Illustrated about why he decided to flip his commitment from Louisville to Kentucky.

Hayes said the switch came down to his visits and the family atmosphere at UK.

Here’s an excerpt of his comments:

“When I flipped, I did it because I visited Louisville and Kentucky,” Hayes explained. “When I visited Kentucky it was like a home away from home. When I visited Louisville I didn’t get the same feeling.”

Hayes had been recruited by Kentucky before ever stepping foot on campus at either of those schools.
