Here’s a look at more receivers and their stat values, pupule math style, from the 2015 season.

I’m sure there are a lot more WRs (and TEs) worth looking at. But this is what I’ve got, along with a list of all WRs by value points per game.

If we go by value points per game, this is what the list looks like. I’ll probably add more receivers to this later.

All in all, it’s a measuring stick of numbers, not necessarily quality of receiver. All the intangible factors, like an offense that doesn’t air it out much, or the aforementioned skills like blocking and route-running, don’t factor in here. Nor the ability of a WR to get open no matter how good the competition.
Timoteo gets open and/or makes catches on everybody. He’s that big and that fast and that physical and that reliable. Noa isn’t as big or physical, but he had a sensational season that was largely hidden because Kamehameha is in the ILH, and their games weren’t televised and seen by the masses.
On the whole, it was another superb season for pass catchers. Maybe not quite as deep as in previous years, but the number of quality receivers remains high. That’s a tribute to the work ethic of these players and the teaching of their coaches. Football in general at the prep level in Hawaii has largely moved on from the “pure” four-wide, run-and-shoot era, but the elements of that philosophy are still a big part of successful offenses that have evolved to adapt the read option.
But of all the skill positions, it’s the WR who is most dependent on others — the QB and O-line — to have success as an individual. That’s why this has been fun, and yet skewed. Football is about winning championships and some of the players listed (or not) will have productive college careers, more so than they did in high school. Maybe their high school team ran a lot and relied on defense (Radford). Maybe their team completely abandoned the aerial attack (Kahuku). Maybe their team simply had so much WR talent that the ball was distributed across the board. But for every Timoteo or Noa or Esprecion, there’s a Teruya at a smaller program who ekes out quite a niche.
Same with the golden one, McGoldrick. ‘Nuff said.
