If Koryu manages to beat Kirinowaka tomorrow all Mongolian sekitori will have reached KK. Pretty remarkable.

But none of the mongolians is good enough for Makuuchi in the moment - and I don't think they ever will, except Tamawashi who did a big step and really learned a lot since last year.

Tamawashi looks promising indeed.. As for the others, I think Hakuba and Hoshihikari are going to make makuuchi eventually, Koryu may even be there for Haru, but whether they will stay there long-term is of course another question. This was discussed in a similar thread in the poll-section last december where I was wondering about the future of Mokonami/Koryu/Hakuba and there were lots of different opinions.
