[Daniel West] had the option of remaining in school and becoming eligible next fall, but in order to do that West would have to pay his own way as an out-of-state student. A decision that comes with a $25,000 price tag.

The decision is in, and West and his family have decided that the chance to play at Tennessee is worth the sacrifice they're making.

"I'm coming back to school," West told us on Saturday. "Really, that was always my plan. I never thought about going anywhere else. I love Tennessee and I'm ready to do whatever I need to get.

"My parents and I talked everything over, and it's going to be a big sacrifice for my family, but it's what I want to do. I don't want to be any place but Tennessee."
