Right now, he probably just woke up and hasn’t eaten breakfast yet. I don’t think he would be happy or have the energy to run a mile around his block at 6:20 am. I would say around 4:40

Hardly. You haven't come up with any times he has run over the mile or the 400 that show real ability over those distances. Only in the fairyland of Letsrun is it believed athletes can excel at every distance.
Strawman as usual.
Shaddup until Cooper actually runs some 200/400 races again. If he runs them again. Same goes for the 1500. Using races he hasn’t run since 9th and 10th grade is ridiculous.
You and others are using races you say he hasn't run to suggest he could excel at or at is at least much faster over those distances. That you say he hasn't tried doesn't suggest he could somehow succeed. You could apply that to anyone. He hasn't shown sprinter speed or a miler's endurance. Until he lays down some compelling markers there is nothing he has done to suggest he could succeed over either the 400 or the mile.

The reaching and obfuscation is hilarious. Someone running a double of 1:47 followed by a 46.3 at 16 (as a HS soph - faster than Jeremy Wariner ran as a HS junior) shows a bit of potential over 400m, never mind a 200m over two years ago at the tail end of a triple 22.1 at 15, fatigued from the 800 and 400, as a HS freshman, is rather quick. As others have pointed out you can’t acknowledge this. Why? They are probably right in suggesting it’s because the kid is an American, and because he is young. But you and your ilk are never wrong. Even when repeatedly wrong you are never wrong. You have never admitted to being wrong even though you constantly foul up. The (unintentional) comedy you provide is admittedly amusing in many ways.

Your examples show nothing other than that he could be conceivably fractionally faster over his non-specialist distances. That isn't being denied and it isnt the point. Anyone might lower a pr over distances they run. But nothing has so far suggested that Lutkenhaus could be exponentially faster over his non specialist distances - the 200/400/mile. A 44x for the 400 or 3:50 for the mile - which are world class - are simply not on the cards. No more than they were for Rudisha or Kipketer.

BTW, Quincy Wilson ran 44.2 at 16. He is also American. I have never argued he doesn't have world class potential over the 400 because he is "young" or because he is "American" - he obviously has that potential. His best at that age is also 2 full seconds faster than Lutkenhaus has run (also taking into account Lutkenhaus's relay leg). Lutkenhaus is simply not in the same ball park over that distance. I can't see he ever will be. 2 seconds over the 400 is more than a bridge too far.
Wilson has also only improved a tenth of a second since he was 16, which shows that big improvements are not a foregone conclusion for prodigies.

You completely ignored that Coop at was faster than Wariner at 16 over 400m. You cherry-pick, omit, twist, and lie. As was noted earlier, you hang on to Wilson and close your eyes to all else.

Wariner wasn't an early maturer - an age prodigy - as Lutkenhaus clearly is and as Wilson is (which is why they can be compared).
But if you wish to argue that Lutkenhaus has the kind of sprint speed that would enable him to take 1.5-2 secs off his 400 pr then he would likely be able to take off far more than that for two laps. So are you going to argue he is currently showing sub-1:40 potential over the 800?
