He will break 3:50 just as Craig Mottram and Dave Moorcroft did before him. Neither of them had extraordinary speed. Look them up. Nico is only 21. When it's all said-and-done, he will run sub-12:45, sub-26:30 and sub-3:50 by the end of his career - and probably sooner than anyone expects.

right
moorcroft 145x 800
mottram 48x 400
mottram might go for the mile in his next life
Nico can go well under 350 in the hoover race that is for sure. right now.
covid period and no results over shorter distances masks where he is now.
Great effort but it means nothing regarding his mile prospects. Look at all the US runners who can run 12:57 and can any of them run a 3:50 mile? But a great race for Nico.
Two week suspension for you, but let’s see if you can do the impossible and fix stupid. yes…this was beyond dumb.
Colin ran 3:53.17 after 4:03, six seconds behind Nico's 3:57 at 7000 ft. How can you possibly believe that Nico Young is not at least a 3:50 miler himself (like Rupp, 3:50/12:58). I would not be at all surprised by 3:48 after that workout and altitude mile, and this validates that.
That is not how it works. Please educate yourself. Rupp wasn’t a 3:50 miler either. He could only do it indoors. Outdoors he couldn’t.
Rupp ran 3:34.1 for 1500 outdoors which is equivalent to his 3:50.9 mile indoors.
Adrian Wildschutt of NAZ Elite takes the win in a thrilling men's 5k at the 2024 BU John Thomas Terrier Classic in 12:56.76, and NAU's Nico Young goes sub-13...

Do you think Adriaan Wildshutt can break 3:50? Could Ritz have at the time he ran 12:56?

OK which part of my post are you struggling with? I can still educate you possibly.

Okay I normally don’t object to posts with a like/dislike ratio like this, but it just feels so weird people believe so strongly that Nico must be able to break 3:50
first of all, no one is a 3:50 miler until they actually run 3:50. Period.
that said, although he’s in wicked shape, I’m not apt to just assume he could run 3:50 or under right now at BU. I do tend to believe Nico is well adjusted to altitude and that his 3:57 alt mile, while a great performance, is not perfectly equal to its conversion. People will argue Col. Sahl. just ran faster than his time at altitude one week ago, but clearly Colin just had a much better race. Perhaps he does not do as well at altitude. See how subjective these arguments can be?
all that to say, it’s highly subjective and maybe a little naive to just assume Nico is a 3:49 guy right now. Not saying he absolutely can’t, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Props to Nico for his run today

Of course neither of them can or could. You nailed it just as I have nailed it with every post.
