How to get into a good group after not networking?

I was fortunate enough to secure the bag with a BB 2024 offer. I did so through the one bank I did not network with at all. And although I go to a target, the bank in question doesn't have a large presence at my school). I'm kind of worried about the networking process to get into a group, as it is a generalist offer. I am hoping for CRG or tech/Industrials, but I know those can be difficult without someone pulling for you. If anyone has been in the same situation, what did you do in order to not get screwed over?
