With competent coaching a 4:10 guy should be able to go sub 4 in 4 years or less.
At least 90% should be sub 4.
Probably 20% do it. there is no should in the equation if the guys are doing 100MPW already. Guys as slow as 4:20 in high school have done it.
I was a 4:11 mile in HS. Got recruited to a power 5 and ended up running 3:59 by my junior year. This being said, I never got hurt for more than 2 weeks throughout those years and had a very slow build up.
40% of High School Sub 4 milers break 4 minutes for the mile as a college athlete.
