2015 Indiana Senior Boys All-Stars revealed

In his seven years as IndyStar Indiana All-Star game director, Charlie Hall said this year's boys roster — the 14th team he's coordinated, counting boys and girls — was the most difficult to construct.

It wasn't for a lack of options.

"Last year after the Top-60 workout, we had a list of 15 names total," Hall said. "This year after the Top-60, we had a list of 12 wing players. It's just a really difficult year. It's not just a case of two or three kids missing out. It's a case of 10 or 12 other kids who could have been on the team. There wasn't a lot of separation."

There are 14 players on this year's roster. Hall had previously announced that Columbus North senior Josh Speidel, who continues to make progress from a Feb. 1 car accident, would have a spot on the All-Star team.

The All-Stars will play exhibition games against the Junior All-Stars on June 8 at Richmond and June 10 at Columbus North (girls games at 6 p.m., followed by boys). The games vs. the Kentucky All-Stars are June 12 (in Lexington, Ky.) and June 13 (at Bankers Life Fieldhouse).
