Pretty close to Cade Flatt at close to the same age. Not to detract from Cade at all but that’s a hell of a performance for more of a miler. Hopefully another year gives Hobbs some time to really hammer a 1500.

1000%. If Hobbs can drop his 800m by another 2-3 seconds and given his talent already over the mile/1500m he could very well become a sub 3:29 1500m runner.
Fantastic result by Hobbs who is likely in 3:32 shape for 1500m at the moment. Hopefully he gets in one more 1500 before season’s end to show off his fitness. If he can carry this form into next year he should no doubt be a contender at USA’s.
Very nice performance for Hobbs. A 2-3 second pr in the 1500m is surely on the way if he gets into a fast race.
Think we might be jumping the gun a bit on that. 1:46.8 is a nice time, but most guys who can run 3:31-32 run 1:44 or 1:45 if they get into a fast one. Running a PB would be awesome and even just sub-3:36 and competitive (if it's a slower race) would be a nice result.

Hobbs just ran an 800m that is less than 0.4secs slower than sub-3:29 man Jakob, and you’re saying Hobbs now is only worth a mid 3:30’s? Dude…

Trying again:
Hobbs just ran an 800m that is less than 0.4secs slower than sub-3:29 man Jakob’s 800m PB, and you’re saying Hobbs now is only worth a ~3:35?
Hobbs probly has better raw speed than Jakob to be honest, but he's definitely nowhere near (and I doubt ever will be) the level of endurance that Jakob possesses. That said, Hobbs looks like he's perfectly built for the 1500m/mile. His clean smooth stride is a genetic gift, and given he ran 3:34 in lesser shape, I'd say 3:32 is in the near future.
It appears that Hobbs came back just a few hours later to win the mile over Eric Avila in 3:58. 1:46/3:58 double just a few hours apart. What can he do for 1500 fresh?
