makes it even more ridiculous how overlooked she was for various awards.

Maybe, maybe not ....

Professional teams are drafting based upon projected production; post-season college awards are supposed to be based upon past production.

Not enough production to even get first team All-ACC?

Samuelson was a WBCA All-American with 18.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 3.9 APG.

Basically, Jackie didn't score enough points to get these honors, which is the type of "production" that gets attention.

That's the way things go but I still think she earned way more recognition than she received.
