I just don't see you growing a lot of OOS state enrollment. What's the attraction? How are you making the OOS tuition waivers available? Who's paying for that?
Also, according to statistics on the IHL website Ole Miss' Oxford campus is growing faster than Starkville. Ole Miss @ Oxford grew 7.1% this year while MSU @ Starkville only grew 5.6%. I think you need to rethink your prediction.

OOS waivers are given if you score a 24+ on the ACT and have a gpa of 3.0 and up. That gives you in- state tuition which is cheaper than most in state schools around the south. And on top of that State has more attainable scholarships. Paying 5-6k less than you would at OM is a big deal, ESP in this economy. Hence why I mentioned Memphis. Traditionally a ton of kids there go to OM as it's closer to home and easier to get into than UT. With OM making full OOS waivers harder to aquire MSU is picking up some of those kids.
