Networking advice - NYC IB SA 2028

I am a incoming sophomore at a target school. Did a PE/SWF fund internship in my home country this summer (small country in Asia). Trying to get a IB SA 2028 offer in BB or EBs. I have recently started networking and doing coffee chats, and a few people were telling me that this is too early or that the people I connect with right now might just forget about me by the time of recruiting actually starts. What do you think about this? Do you think I should do this a bit later like in September?
