I've heard nothing but good things over the last few weeks and throughout his visit, but Auburn sites seem confident as well.

You nailed it. But just confined to football. Definitely look for the best in baseball, and usually the middle ground for basketball.
Someone help me on this transfer admission stuff......
Sorry, but I just don't believe that Alabama and Auburn are better schools than Ole Miss and Mississippi State. So someone has got to come with some factual evidence here.....what is the deal about JUCO transfers getting in easier at the Mississippi schools? Auburn fans seem to think that's the only way we get Toby Johnson. Sounds like homer fiction to me.

Since Mississippi community college students tend to transfer to in-state four-year colleges, there are articulation agreements among the colleges and universities stating what courses transfer with no problems at all. Nothing major, in other words, but it is at least spelled out.
Sorry, but Bama and Auburn are both much tougher to get into than either MSU or UM. That is a fact. They may or may not be better schools, but the entrance requirements are lower at MSU and UM thanks to the Ayers settlement. All Mississippi universities have to have the same admission standards. And they sure as hell didn't do that by raising the standards at JSU, ASU, and MVSU.
My nephew in Alabama barely got into Auburn. MSU was his fallback option if he didn't get accepted.

I don't know how Kansas's community colleges and universities work...
but I would presume that they have a similar setup to the colleges and universities here in Mississippi for similar reasons.

Interesting. But to look at the positives, we are a small school and need to up enrollment I suppose. Can only do that by getting more students.
The Auburn Rivals board has many posters that believe Auburn just gives a better education, and I don't believe that. Of course, I'm not one of those that thinks that the university makes the students either, much the opposite way around.

I can absolutely confirm that because my daughter is in nursing school at Auburn and I believe when she started her freshman year the general population student had to have like a 23 on the ACT just to get admitted (not sure what athletes would need). Also, she took one semester at a community college here in Alabama because she graduated HS one semester early and she had to speak to an Auburn advisor about EVERY class she took just to make sure it would transfer. Once in I don't know that one is that much better or worse than the other but Auburn is by far tougher to get into AND significantly more expensive. Auburn has slightly higher entrance requirements than even Alabama from what I've seen.
I know a girl from Mississippi who got into Auburn with a completely average ACT and A's and B's at a not-too-well-respected private school without AP classes. No family connections. Was just willing to pay full-price to go there.
I'm sure you could find X amount of programs and even go further and find departments within programs better than the other at each school.
As far as JUCO, Mississippi's JUCO presidents are some of the most powerful people in the state. A step further, Mississippi's JUCO presidents are some of the most powerful presidents in JUCO. They're all in DC arguing against Pell Grant reform to take money away from people trying to enter trade school programs right now. When Barbour tried to get athletic budgets for JUCO schools taken out of the public budget it failed instantly and was never discussed because of them (and other obvious reasons).
I would IMAGINE because of the magnitude of Mississippi's emphasis on workforce development that we would be more willing to accept Kansas's JUCO credits than anyone in the country outside of Kansas.
