I am of course too young for Sam Bowie- but i was an OSU fan that watched Oden- and I remember he was great and hugely hyped- but i also remember he was injured during that sole season at OSU.
Callinga 1 year college player "transcendent" seems a litle premature
Oden played nearly 30 min/game for 32 (of 39 games) for Ohio State in his one year of college ball. The games he missed were early in the season as he recovered from wrist ligament surgery. That was a predictor of his injuries to his right knee (microfracture surgery), foot, left knee (chipped knee cap), left knee again (fractured patella), then ultimately two microfracture surgeries on that left knee.
Your memory? Not so good.
