Felix Kloman, four year basketball player at Brown University, joins this week's episode of @Notevend2 . Felix was a standout player in high school playing for Pingree School in Massachusetts. Out of high school Felix had few Division 1 offers, but coach Mike Martin and his staff offered Kloman late in his senior year of high school.

Felix committed to play for Brown University going into the 2020-21 season; unfortunately his first season was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.

The grad student is off to a great start of the season averaging an efficient 18.8 ppg. Babson will be in contention for an NCAA tournament appearance due to the addition of Kloman.
