An accomplished recruiter, Kloman is the founder of

recruiting services across the country at the time of its inception
in March of 2008. The website served to help countless college

process of recruiting.

From April 2002-2005, Kloman earned a position at the University
of Tennessee and was put in charge of player development. He helped
the UT coaching staff with recruiting, and helped run the summer
camps held by the basketball program. C.J. Watson, Chris Lofton,

in helping them get to the next level and play professional
basketball.
