Of course, for Vols fans, it comes with numerous questions. How good can this team be? Just how much rebuilding are they going to do? Are they going to be a threat to any of the big dogs they face this year?

Well, we know it all starts with fall camp. As Pruitt mentioned on Thursday, Tennessee football enters with 109 guys. Once JJ Peterson enrolls, they expect to have 110 guys by the time the season begins on Rocky Top.

As always, there are numerous storylines following the Vols this year. The most obvious one is the fact that they are entering the season with a new head coach. But in reality, that just spawns a collection of other storylines.
