Maeve Moran will continue to be a stock-riser as she gets older it seems like. Moran, the 5’11 SG, checks off a lot of boxes. She has length and notable height, she is skilled with the ball as a SG who can get her own shots on the offensive end while being a stout defender, she can rebound with that size she brings with her to the floor, and she is always one of the first on the ground or into the stands for loose ball opportunities – demonstrating that she is willing to sacrifice her body for her teammates. When you combined all of that – you get someone that sounds like they can compete at the college level once they graduate high school. Her steady progression will matter over the next two seasons but as long as that stays up to par, she should have some options at the end of the day.

Maeve Moran Maeve Moran 5'11" | SG/SF Linn-Mar Marion | 2029 State IA might come into Linn-Mar High School for her Sophomore year and become their best player in a short amount of time. Moran, the skilled 5’11 CG, is versatile within her position and really on the floor in general. With her natural length she can stick to bigger matchups or she can latch onto a smaller Guard if need be. Offensively she mainly moves off of the ball as her team’s main 3 or 4 but she can also play up to the 5 or down to the 2 in certain situations. When you pair that with some of the recruits that Linn-Mar already has on roster, you can imagine that they will win some tough contests this Winter. Moran did her thing during this event. She lived up to her reputation and now she is ready to keep on stacking the days until our Winter season kicks off.

There is a chance that Maeve Moran could take over the Linn-Mar Marion High School program over the next three years with the type of play she brings to the hardwood. Moran is lengthy, quick acting, and a hard-worker. She gets her hands on tips/deflections every time she competes defensively and she is always causing chaos within her individual matchups. We have seen some of the potential that Moran brings to the floor on the travel scene over the last six months. If she can build off of the momentum she has put in place as we move into this Winter, she should be someone we talk about a few times throughout the season as we move towards 2027.
