Foreigners taking over U.S tourneys?
By Hans Stolfus, Special to Universal Sports
Pardon the delay, but the last 24 hours have been spent plotting my return to the game and how I can convince good friend Jonas Reckermann to play with me during off-FIVB weekends in 2012. What?! I can't play with a German World Champion on a U.S. National Tour, you say. Or can I?
