I never thought I would agree with anyone from Colorado but this guy is an idiot. Lincoln will be focused on his running only after graduation. He will also not ever be in the 10k or above group. He is a steeple machine and will invest all of his efforts in that event so pull him off your list as he doesn't meet at least two of your criteria. Stay after this ass-wipe as he has no clue what goes on at the elite level.
Pearson is an interesting name to discuss in this topic. Rollie Geiger does a very good job at NC State but many of those guys stick around in GA positions and never progress after college. For all the outstanding guys that have graduated from their in the last 5 years I can't think of anyone that has excelled after college. Where are the Pons bros? I think I remember one of them telling me that running wasn't his top priority. Wow, I guess I just answered your question. It needs to be your top priority to be successful.
Interesting interview with Lincoln on trackshark.com. He specifically says that running is his top priority even though he is in grad school. He says that he wouldn't reccommend the same thing for others but those are his priorities. YOUR LIST IS OFFICIALLY DEAD. When one of those milers move beyond the 10k come talk to me. Your original question is applicable to NO ONE.
The post is a good one. The guy made his point. There are some guys on there that will not run a 10k and up later but there are plenty that will. You have no idea between the difference between having a main focus and being completly focused. You actually helped out his case by stating that he is doing other things while running but he does not recommend this for anyone else. I feel very sorry for you.
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
