Im guessing yes....unless injury.

Yes.
There is ZERO chance of this happening. Jakob will possibly end up running 7:27 and 12:50. No way he runs faster.
No.
I think he will get Mourhit's European Rscords (currently 7:26 and 12:49) but not the World Records (Currently 7:20 and 12:37)
I say he runs
7:22 for 3000
12:41 for 5000
No because kejelcha is gonna set ‘em much faster
LOL no.

I don't think there's a chance he'll get any of the records. 3:26.00 is a long way from 3:30.16. 12:37!! is a long way from 13:02, and 7:20 is a long way from the low 7:30s that he was capable of running last year. Moreover, the 5000m mark may well be a moving target with Cheptegei, Kipruto, Barega, GWet, and Kejelcha all in the 12:40s already, and potentially the advent of carbon fiber plate spikes. However, I think that Jakob will run in the mid to upper 12:40s. He gave GWet a bit of a battle in the 13:02 race, so he must have had mid to low 12:50s ability already last year.
Closer to mile record pace for 1500m, 2000m at 3000m pace, 3000m at 5000m record pace.

Not even remotely. Those records were set during the height of the EPO days. There's no way a non doped athlete could come close. I mean, look at recent history.
Who came the closest to 3:26? Kiprop, and the dude was banned for doping.
The fastest mile in the last ten years or so was Alan Webb in 3:46.91 and that is an enormous distance away from 3:43.13.
Now there is current crop of runners in the 12:40s, so maybe Cheptegei/Kipruto/Barega/Kejelcha could take it. But then it would just be a moving target for Jakob.
No way Jakob could take the WRs, even though he is massively talented.
He won't even break the clean records (3:26.69, 7:25.02, and 12:46.53 fyi).

Definitely a long way but at 20 (IAAF doesn't list a 19 year old 1500m), El G's PR was 3:33
At 19 Bekele was running 13:13.33
At 19 Komen rann 7:38 (and 12:56)
Will Jabok continue to improve? Who knows but we are talking about someone you should expect to improve over the next 3-4 years as they finish maturing and then have another 5 years of a prime to chase records. On the other hand he has been training pretty hard for a long time now. He is probably closer to his max than most 19 year olds.
