These at a minimum and perhaps even faster. He said the 13:17 felt very easy.

This. His PR in the 5k is about 27 seconds faster than Rupp ran as a junior, so surely he will run about that much faster as a senior athlete as well.
PRs? More interesting, how will his racing career proceed?

He’s not a 5k runner. Probably never will be in the top times of distances above the mile. Kipchoge in his age clocked 12:52
3:28 flat
Somewhere between 12:50 to 12:55
Jacob has been training much differently than Galen. Galen at the age of 17 was not training like Pro. Alberto always wanted Galen peak to be for the marathon. So he kept Galen back so his peak would be later.
Jacob is a great runner but he’s been training like a pro for awhile now. I believe he will peak much faster than Galen. Besides the 5 k was never Galens best event.
I actually wish Jacob step back his training a bit. We don’t want him burning out by the time he’s 25.
Ryun peaked by 20. Who’s to say Jakob won’t peak at 18?
If he improves by only 1% next year that is 3:29 flat (on Monaco of course). I don't think he is overwhelmingly fast over 5,000m (faster than me) but he is like Centro is if a 1500m race is 3:35 or slower he can kick, if the 5000m is 13:14 or slower he can kick but if it is run at eg 13:03 he is stuffed.

I think 3:24/3:25 and between 12:30 and 12:40 is reasonable to hope for now. Of course, it's quite possible that he could run even faster. Even I didn't expect him to do as well this season as he has. Also, if he has a long career, he could be 'in his prime' around 2026 or even 2030. Who knows what improvements to shoes, tracks etc will take place by then?
I also think he can run some seriously fast 800 times one day. Maybe he will be like Aouita and want to win medals and break records at 800 to 10000 and even beyond?
It seems funny now people are saying that he only gets by on his kick in slow races. Before this season everybody was saying his problem was an inability to kick.
