Networking for very early SA recruiting this cycle

A bit of background, I go to a top target and am interning at a prominent Tiger Cub this summer. I had just started networking for SA 2019 positions a few weeks ago and I'm hearing from those I'm talking to as well as career services at school that banks will be recruiting extremely early this year, and I've started getting emails for the standard networking events. How will the optimal networking strategy change with this early a start, as well as some other logistics? Do I put "Incoming ..." on my resume even though that seems like bad form? Looking for some guidance for how this accelerated process will go.
