When hiring a newly minted undergrad, you should expect to need to do some mentoring on the nuts and bolts of programming. CS is not about lucid commit messages.
If you want a trade school grad, hire one from a trade school. There's nothing wrong with that.
I wouldn't hire a Caltech grad to fix my transmission, either. (I could fix your transmission, but AFAIK I was the only motorhead at Caltech, which was pretty disappointing.)
