He moved to Chicago, Illinois while in high school. He made the big move when he was a sophomore, leaving his home in the United States Virgin Islands to live with a family friend in Chicago to attend St. Laurence High School. "When I first came here, it was hard," Harvey said. "Basketball is a lot different here. Everybody is a lot faster. I've adapted to it now, though."
Isaiah was ineligible his sophomore year after moving, so he had to sit out the year, and it took him a bit to get his feet wet," St. Laurence coach Jim Sexton said. "Last year, though, he really started to feel it. Isaiah Harvey led the St. Laurence Vikings to an IHSA 2018 Regional Championship in the Illinois state playoffs. He also received the 2018 Chicago Sun-Times All-Area and Chicago Catholic Conference League Honors.
He received a four-year athletic scholarship to attend St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. Isaiah Harvey is now a 5’10 starting guard for the St. Ambrose University Fighting Bees.

January 2021 - NBE, in conjunction with Caribbean Rose, made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 basketball season. The world is still being affected by the COVID-19 virus. It wouldn't have been irresponsible for our organization to hold tryouts and practices during this time. Even if the team wanted to travel restrictions imposed by the local government made that impossible. The Small Fry Basketball Association currently has dozens of Small Fry Basketball Teams throughout the United States, Caribbean, & Latin America currently being affected by this pandemic.
