The toughest college tournament of the season kicks off Friday, and with over 100 ranked wrestlers likely to compete, it can seem a bit overwhelming to follow.

Watch 2019 Cliff Keen Las Vegas LIVE on Flo

December 6-7 | 12:00 PM Eastern

Luckily, we have been pumping out previews and articles to contextualize the event, going through it on FRL, and bashing you in the head on social media with some of the best guys and juicy matchups we'll see.

In case you missed all that, though, let's get you up to speed. The CKLV brackets will be in FloArena, and right now registration is publicly available to see. If you go in there right now, you can begin setting alerts for wrestlers.

As you can see, you can get alerted (either by text or email) about a result, a mat assignment, or both. You can set the alerts at any time until the tournament ends.

Now that you are aware, or if you were already aware and we just reminded you, here are our recommendations for a dozen guys you should set FloArena alerts for before CKLV starts on Friday. It's not necessarily your top-ranked guys like Zahid or Kollin Moore, but some of the most intriguing, confounding, and downright baffling guys in the gym.

CKLV Previews: Lightweight | Middleweight | Upperweight

#2 Jack Mueller, Virginia (125)

The returning NCAA finalist is only on Flo twice this year, so we strongly recommend you set your Arena alerts for him this weekend as well as at the end of this month at Midlands. He’ll be a heavy favorite in this field, and we’ll be watching to see if he either tries to dominate and turn everyone on top, or if he focuses on neutral, hinting toward his desire to make a run at the Olympic Trials.

#10 Taylor LaMont, Utah Valley (133)

The 125lb CKLV winner in 2017, LaMont had a decision in his first match off Olympic Redshirt and then was majored by Seth Gross. He’s battled health issues the whole time in college, in addition to chasing his Greco aspirations, so the level he’s at now that he’s committed to folkstyle the rest of the season will be worth our attention.

#7 Tariq Wilson, NC State (141)

To be fair, all of the top guys at 141 have enough allure to set an alert for — it's a stacked weight. But based on his third-place finish at NCAAs, as well as him coming up in weight, Wilson is probably the one I lean to right now. You really do not want to look away when he's wrestling.

#6 Jarrett Degen, Iowa State (149)

Jarrett Degen pulls things off that very few wrestlers can. His unparalleled height and unconventional approach result in highly entertaining matches and a lot of wins for Degen. Combine that with a completely wide-open field at 149 and you've got a recipe for your phone to buzz every time he steps on the mat.

#10 Sammy Sasso, Ohio State (149)

Between his straight leg cradle game, his impact on this team race, and his surprise loss to Brent Moore (see below), Sasso is a must-watch this weekend. He opened up the year with five bonus-point wins, but since then is 3-1 with a pair of decisions.

#18 Brent Moore, Virginia Tech (149)

Virginia Tech’s Brent Moore is another athlete to keep your eye on. You never know what you’ll get from Moore in terms of results as, in consecutive weeks, he pinned Sammy Sasso and then dropped a bout to Bucknell’s Matt Kolonia. Despite his relative inconsistency, Moore has the potential to pin everyone he’ll step on the line against.

#7 Kendall Coleman, Purdue (157)

One of the breakout stars of this young season, Coleman is tremendously smooth on his feet. He's not necessarily blowing guys out just yet, but he wrestles with confidence, is the highest-ranked guy on a sneaky good Purdue team, and has the opportunity to grab the #1 spot with a couple of upsets this weekend.

#22 Jacori Teemer, Arizona State (157)

For all the hype that surrounded Teemer’s commitment to Arizona State, he has been relatively under the radar so far this year. His record is just 1-1, but make no mistake, he’s a serious player at 157. On top of that, his exciting counter offense makes him must-watch viewing.

#8 Anthony Valencia, Arizona State (174)

Remember when Valencia blew the doors off Mark Hall on a beautiful double last Friday? Can we get that guy for seven minutes? Hall ultimately majored him and the rest of the match went as expected, but it's those flashes alone that make me want to set up a mat assignment alert.

#14 Anthony Mantanona, Oklahoma (174)

It was several years ago, but the Mantonana bodylock of Trent Hidlay right to his back in the FloNats finals is burned in my head. He also had an eight-second fall at the National Collegiate Open two years ago. Some more stats for you: he has 60 career college matches, and over a third of them end with a pin. He's got 11 career matches in which both guys scored in the double digits. Don't sleep on Ant Man.

#4 Ben Darmstadt, Cornell (184)

Whether it's the height advantage, the unorthodox top game, or just a general tendency to put himself in ridiculous scrambles, Darmstadt is a textbook alert guy. He also happens to be in the best weight at CKLV, with all of the top five and eight of the top 10 in attendance.

#6 Mason Parris, Michigan (285)

We knew the Wolverine sophomore had potential coming out of high school. He was an all-state linebacker, threw shot put and ran the 110-meter hurdles at a high level, and, oh yeah, won FloNats twice. Now a Junior world champ, Parris looks to have made a huge jump, with three wins over his rival Matt Stencel, as well as beating #9 Demetrius Thomas. He's got numerous Michigan lifting records (remember Adam Coon went there), has a world-class tricep carry/dump, and is just a sophomore. God bless this new breed of heavyweight.
