Dieuly and Kilby got themselves kicked out of school/kicked off the team. Your concern about the staff losing players through some fault of their own, while understandable, should not be a concern with these 2.
Hopefully that answers your concern, and puts this thread to bed.

RE: Talent Drain
And Barnes? Left on his own not to Alabama, Clemson or Ohio State, but to East Carolina.
You're sure taking a lot of interest in a non-issue.
Did you notice how little we passed to the middle of the field last season? Kilby wasn't there. Did to notice how much time, effort and money were spent trying to get a TE this off season? Because Kilby is gone. And the guy they really want still hasn't signed.
Did you notice how poor our punting was last season? Barnes wasn't there. We must have had three different guys punting and the best was probably Roback. With all the defensive games we had the persistent loss of field position was something we couldn't overcome. It almost certainly cost us games, but hey, that's a non-issue.

RE: Talent Drain
We were also missing Buschman for most of the season due to injury, which limited our TEs. Kemp was also recovering from an off-season injury. Nothing to do with a talent drain.
With an inexperienced OL, it's also harder to develop a full compliment of passing plays. Also, nothing to do with talent leaving too early.

Good points repeated more than once in this thread but someone isn't listening I get his point it just isn't valid upon closer examination
