Everyone who follows recruiting has already chalked him up as a miss

How can it be a miss if McKinley never truly wanted to go to LSU ?
If he was die-hard and wanted to play in TS on Saturday nights, he would have already made it publicly known, regardless of when LSU offered.
LSU NIL could offer him $1M and he's still very much infatuated with Texas.
You believe everything the dad is telling you, as Dominick wants to do his own thing and LSU isn't in the picture.
Based on his actions and talk, he was NEVER high on LSU and wanted to explore OOS options.
Official Visits - 6/2 tOSU, 6/9 - A&M, 6/16 - OU, 6/23 - Texas, not even an LSU official visit ??? and his commitment date is 12 days away on 9/2

FWIW, on 11/7/22 he wasn't even ranked - NR (So. and most of his Jr. year)
LSU offered McKinley on 1/27/23 - after UT, OU, A&M, and before UGA and tOSU.
on 2/23/23, he blew up to a 5-star and ranked #102 nationally ...
You can't make a horse drink water, as it's obvious McKinley has no thirst for LSU.
