Here is another example of the other way around. I only know of Matt because some local boys played with him and I went to a few games to support them. ME degree, 4.0. After two years in MiLB, he is at Berkeley Law. There is always the option of a graduate or professional degree for students who are so inclined.

Good story, but having gone to a below average university for college, and a top graduate school, the normal person would obtain a great benefit from having Harvard and Berkeley on their resume v just Berkeley, In addition, the Harvard contacts will be more helpful in later years. However, I suspect this young man will find a way to succeed no matter what is thrown at him.
With all due respect, Boalt Hall (Cal Berkeley's Law School) is pretty much Harvard of the West in the legal community. Big time names all around the alumni rolls and recruiters don't care a pittance of your undergrad school when your JD is conferred at Berkeley.

Having gone to a crappy undergrad and a great grad school, the connections you make in a both schools can make a difference, (especially in the legal field). It may not matter in 1st job, but it will over time. Anybody that thinks having a Harvard undergrad degree does not mean anything if you go to a top graduate school is mistaken. It's all about relationships in the long term. .
No doubt any degree from HYP can get a foot in the door. But getting into Boalt is uber-competitive- and I mean on the scale of Harvard-Johns Hopkins-UCSF med school- and if you matriculate there from your "crappy undergraduate school" it means you are stellar and probably could've/should've been an Ivy, but for whatever reason it didn't happen when you were 17. Maybe the parents didn't have the dough, then the kid blew away the top "crappy school" scholars and aced the LSAT. BTW, close ties to a Hilltopper; great kid, awesome family, good player; he'll do just fine in life. 36 doctorates were the definers. Four year fun times on Telegraph/Durant Aves, but first principals included....a Stanfurd Indian letterman...go figure!
