NEW YORK — Isaiah Briscoe went for 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while dazzling the crowd with his ball-handling as Team NYC beat Team USA, 126-110, Saturday night in the Big Strick Classic.
Before the game, the 6-foot-2 junior guard talked to SNY.tv in the above video about his decision to transfer to Roselle Catholic from St. Benedict’s and about his recruitment.
RC is the defending New Jersey Tournament of Champions winner, but loses Tyler Roberson (Syracuse), Hakim Saintil (South Alabama) and Malachi Richardson (Trenton Catholic).
“Roselle Catholic, I’ll settle for a state championship, TOC,” Briscoe said. “And just back-to-back I have two more years left, I just want to make the best of it.”
Briscoe moved into RC just as Richardson was leaving, but he said there was no connection.
“His decision didn’t change mine and I wasn’t waiting for him to leave or nothing like that,” Briscoe said. “When Findlay was a no, I decided Roselle Catholic.”
Meantime, as Briscoe leaves St. Benedict’s Prep, the Gray Bees will add a slew of guards, including 6-2 junior Kamar McKnight of Toronto, 6-4 junior Eli Cain of Medford Tech and 6-3 senior Carl Brown of Western (Ky.) High.

Briscoe says he has no college list as of now but is being courted by Arizona, Syracuse, Florida and Seton Hall, among others.
“I’m going to Syracuse at the end of the month,” he said, “and I was planning on visiting Florida but I’m not sure.”
