Hey Cole!
I think you’re late to this take

Oh you
Weren’t you just trashing and being jealous of Kessler a few days ago
You are totally right. Go to 12:17 of this video- you will see 18 year old Cole Hocker almost beat 1:42 800m Nick Symmonds in a 100!

With a year of development, it is clear that Cole would now beat him in a 100m dash. This means Cole’s current 800m ability is probably 1:41. The 3:50 was tactical. I’m sure he could have run 3:47 with better pacing.
In 5 years his PRs will most likely be 1:39, 3:24, 12:38, 26:21, based off his 3:50 tactical mile and his 100m race against 8 time US 800m champ Nick Symmonds.

Seriously? You don’t think he can go faster in the 5k/10k?
I said PRs in 5 years. He will only be 24 years old. American runners don't reach their potential in those distances until they are in their late 20's!!! He is not an African age cheat
Also we dont know how he'll develop in those distances. As you can see in the video evidence I posted above, he has only proven himself to be competitive against 800m LEGEND Nick Symmonds. Its not like he was racing Cheptogei.... Nick was a bad 5000m runner.
I would like to see Bekele vs Hocker in the 100m dash on Pre's Trail during on OU tailgate. $100 on the line. Then we will know if he has the ability to someday run under 26 mins in the 10k

Fully agree. Hocker has shown some good potential but he has yet to beat a single olympian in the 100m dash outside an Oregon tailgate. Until he starts comfortably beating the likes of Centro, Rudisha, and Kirani James outside Autzen stadium, then he's going to remain just a young runner with talent.
