At least 3rd place. But also good chances for second. He has his priorities and decided not to go so decision must be respected. Indoors are not popular anyways.
last thing he needs is a west coast flight to Europe and the time zones changes etc and the World Champs are only 4.5 months away.
Well don't come here and blame it on experience if he gets boxed in or takes the outer turn (like he did in that meet where he got outkicked earlier this year) at worlds. You cant expect to show up at worlds and race against Jakob, Timothy, Kerr, Katir, McSweyn, Kipsang and Simotwo and think you are going to beat them all when its a year since last time you raced against someone who held a sub 3:31 pace througout the race.
Fortunately for Hocker, this impeccable logic goes both ways. How is Jakob supposed to beat Hocker when he hasn't raced Hocker in over a year? Think about it.
