There is a stigma with jucos that really needs to go away. Just because the high school burnout did a semester at a juco doesn't mean the path is bad if you put your head down and do the work.
Math is math at both schools. The numbers still mean the same thing.
Sure it's possible. I know lots of kids (not baseball players) that did that. But I think for a lot of kids that can go HA or are borderline HA this can be a difficult route. I think "you are who you surround yourself with" is somewhat true and being in an atmosphere where you're being pushed by your peers is valuable.
Not sure math (or any of the math and sciences) is the same at a JUCO and a 4 year. I'm sure it depends, but I know there are many instances of AP courses is HS not being as rigorous as their equivalent in college. I think it's similar.
