Career

After high school in Hamden , a suburb of his hometown New Haven, Ulmer went to the Notre Dame Preparatory School in Fitchburg (Massachusetts) for a further year of training , which has an excellent reputation among ambitious young players for preparing for a degree due to its basketball team College in the NCAA Division I enjoys. Ulmer then received a scholarship at the University of Rhode Island in 2006 , whose basketball team Rams is not one of the leading teams in the NCAA Division I. In the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) it was enough in Elmer's first season 2007 together with, among others, Will Daniels to move into the finals of the A-10 championship tournament, which George Washington Colonials lost 69:78. After a rather moderate main round, however, there was no further postseason participation in the season that was only reached in the following three years. The Rams each qualified for the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), in which they were eliminated in 2008 at the beginning and in 2009 after the second round. In Elmer's senior year, however, the Rams reached the Final Four of this competition in 2010 , in which they only just lost the renowned North Carolina Tar Heels in extra 67:68 in the semifinals . Ulmer, who scored a double-double in his last NCAA game with 18 points and ten rebounds like the later Bundesliga professional Deon Thompson in the opposing team , missed the chance of victory in the final seconds of the game when he stumbled in a controversial manner came. In the history of the Rams, Ulmer has recorded the most stakes with 136 games and with 1,082 points also achieved a four-digit point yield; in the shot blocks he achieved a three-digit yield with 107 blocks and is eighth among the top ten in the Rams' all-time history .

In the 2010 NBA draft , Ulmer was not taken into account and finally got an engagement with the Maine Red Claws in Portland (Maine) at the end of October 2010 . After two missions and 22 minutes in the NBA Development League (D-League), the Red Claws ended the contract after less than four weeks. For the 2011/12 season, Ulmer finally tried his hand at being a professional player across the Atlantic in Europe, using the internationally less renowned Diekirch League in Luxembourg to start his professional career. At AS Soleuvre from Zolwer , Ulmer was top scorer with a good 26 points per game and also top rebounder of the league with 12.5 rebounds per game, but the team missed the play-offs for the championship and was eighth in the relegation round only secure relegation. With his individual performances, Ulmer recommended himself for the Finnish Korisliiga , where he played for Pyrintö from Tampere in the top division. Ulmer was one of the ten best players in the league that season with a good 19 points and 1.8 ball wins ; after the fourth main round place, however, his team retired in the play-off quarter-finals from the race for the championship. At the Romanian club BCM CSU from Piteşti , Ulmer reached the semi-finals in the national cup competition in the 2013/14 season. In the championship of Divizia A , the team improved to sixth place compared to the previous season, but for Ulmer the play-offs with Pitesti ended again in the first round. Ulmer returned to Finland, where he played for TP-Basket from Kotka in the 2014/15 season . In the international club competition EuroChallenge 2014/15 , the team achieved only one home win in the preliminary round against the Italian second division club Angelico Biella and was eliminated from the competition after six games. In the Korisliiga, the team lost as the main round first in the Play semi-final series in just five games against the Nilan Bisons .

For the 2015/16 basketball Bundesliga , Ulmer moved to Germany and signed a contract with s.Oliver Baskets from Würzburg, who returned to the first division . Here, too, Ulmer drew attention to himself with his athletic style of play and spectacular dunking and scored a double-digit result with twelve points per game. At the end of the season, one of his basketball successes was voted “Dunk of the Year” by the BBL with a “Slam Dunk” . After a good start to the season, the newcomer reached the play-offs for the championship in eighth place , in which they had no chance in the first round against defending champion Brose Baskets .
