Entries for the 2024 Black Knight Invitational are out and this year's edition is more loaded than ever!

One of my favorite age-level tournaments of the year has arrived - the Junior World Team Trials. The nation’s best high school upperclassmen and college underclassmen will put it on the line for a chance to represent their country overseas.

The U23 Nationals and U20 World Team Trials brackets will be both massive (mostly the U23 ones) and stacked with some of the most talented and credentialed college wrestlers in the country.

U20 Nationals (formerly known as UWW Junior Nationals) is one of my favorite age-level tournaments every year. The top high school upperclassmen get to test themselves against the best first or second-year college guys who are often hungry to compete coming out of redshirt. It's the first step in making the Junior World Team as the winner of this event will earn an automatic berth to the best-of-three wrestle-off series against the World Team Trials challenge tournament champion in June.

One month after winning their 12th NCAA team title, Penn State wrestling is already back in action. With future, current, and former wrestlers all competing at the US Open, the field in Las Vegas will be keeping Nittany Lion fans busy.

On the Senior level, the US Open will set the stage for Final X, but there's plenty to watch at the U17 and U20 divisions as well. The U17 division will conclude with a best-of-three series that will decide the World Team, shake up the high school rankings, and establish some wrestlers' cases to be in Who's Number One. High Schoolers in the U20 division will compete against other elite peers but will also test themselves against guys who have been seasoned in college rooms for a year or two.

The Minnesota Christmas tournament rarely disappoints due to the high caliber of competition in Minnesota and its surrounding states. Take a look at this year's pre-seeds with national rankings where applicable. Every weight is tough, and several weights have multiple nationally-ranked wrestlers. Pay special attention to 182 lbs and 195 lbs. It's also worth noting that Gigi Bragg, the #12 ranked wrestler in the women's national rankings will toe the line in the boys' division at this tournament.
