Something here is being lost in translation. I'm not questioning your source or the legitimacy of the info. I simple said that he has told others he was not offered and you say he has told HS that he was offered. So based on that info I find that interesting. Now the question is why is had told different people different things? Perhaps he was unsure before but now has more clarity on the situation since you spoke to him so now he feels more confident in disclosing the fact he indeed does have an offer.
