re: Who is the Most Dominant College BBall Player You Remember Watching?

Chris Jackson was the most amazing offensive player I've ever seen. He was like a video game, and had found the cheat mode. Would take over any game, and the rest of the players would just watch.
Most dominant center- someone said Shaq, someone else said Ralph Sampson. I would put Patrick Ewing in college ahead of both. The whole Hoya Paranoia thing, them pressing and funneling the drives straight into him, and he'd swat the ball back past half court... just intimidating. I remember him tearing both Sam Bowie and Mel Turpin apart in the playoffs one year.
Remember, Ewing is the reason the NBA has a lottery for their draft. Before he came out, it was based on records, I think the worst two (worst in each conference?) had a coin flip.

Kind of a hijack, but some people are mentioning mentioning 80's forwards. There were so many, it's really hard to narrow it down from that group. For every Barkley, there is the counterpoint of a Drexler somewhere else.
For example, somebody said Waymon Tisdale; but I remember the NCAA playoff bracket that had his Oklahoma team facing La Tech with Karl Malone and Memphis with Keith Lee. Those guys waged serious war against each other, and I can't say anybody was dominant head-to-head.
Same thing, really, with the centers. Ewing was a monster, but Olajuwon was too. When those two met in the Four, it was pretty intense down low. Georgetown won, but not because Ewing dominated Olajuwan, they won because they were better than Houston overall. Just a LITTLE better.

Some of these answers are laughable. When I think of unstoppable, I think of Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson at Purdue.

A good call, though he does get a lot of credit for getting hot at the right time. Manning and the Miracles were a blast, and he's another good call. I seem to remember him being hurt, but it doesn't look like it from his stat page. Misremembering, I guess. Manning was a total badass.
