Should I Start FT Recruiting?

Currently interning at a BB IB in a niche coverage group and I go to a nontarget. Based on past offer rates and my own performance I'd say I have a 60% - 70% chance of an offer. If I get a full-time offer I would 100% take it. With that being said, should I start the FT recruiting process?

I'm worried that if I don't get an offer I'll be behind in FT recruiting, but I don't want my current group to find out I'm looking elsewhere. Additionally, my school basically only has a presence with my current firm, so there aren't many options in terms of general/traditional networking. Any advice is appreciated.
