When you look at that, where do you think the discussion is going to be focused?
If they released the full list, and there were a dozen other players who only did 1, then no this would not be getting the attention it has. But to the best of everyone's knowledge... Bennett is the only guy who did less than 9... That number being 0.

Do you even know why it matters?
This is kind of ridiculous speculation because it's a dead few days and there's nothing else to talk about, I get it, but his performance likely doesn't matter. The "only guy who did less than 9" is likely untrue as well unless you have evidence providing such. I'm sure there are guys who did 1, 2, 3, whatever.
Ask yourself this:
If Bennett is apparently that much weaker than 120 other top prospects, why is he ranked #1?
Why was he able to physically assert himself in a very effective way against guys aged 18. 19, and 20?
The pull up thing is stupid. It tells you where he needs work, not that he suddenly won't be a top guy because of one failed test. If you look up the definition of the phrase "Making a mountain out of a molehill," there's probably a link to an article about Sam Bennett doing 0 pull-ups.
Out of the top 10 guys in pull-ups, anyone ranked top 5 by CSS? Top 10 even?
