CFAJ inane commentary: Running back is not a desperate need, but a position where you take athletes if they're interested. With an early commit from TB Poole, any other takes would probably be with an eye toward building depth for the future (or a back-up plan in case Creer doesn't pan out). At fullback, given Bartholomew's bloodlines he was always going to have a spot in Knoxville, but is Cutcliffe's de-emphasis of the fullback temporary or long-term?
