IB Recruitment: Emailing Analysts on Thursday Morning and/or Friday Morning

Hey Guys. I am currently a rising junior at a top 15 school going through the recruitment process. I talked to an analyst Wednesday evening and he referred me to some other people. My question is is it ok to email the referral Thursday Morning (and if so, Friday morning)? I have been reading through the forums and it suggests that I should cold email earlier in the week, which I have. My thought process is that they are not likely to respond later in the week, especially with the weekend in sight. And then, my email will be buried in their Inbox the following week.

Any input is appreciated - thank you very much.
