Graduating College Early

I'm a current junior who is really close to having enough credits to graduate. If I overload for 20 in the spring, I'll have enough to graduate. Curious if any recent graduates have insight on what to evaluate when making this decision. For context: I'm not considering an additional minor or graduate school. I have a CB internship offer lined up for the summer, which hopefully will also result in a return offer. I play a club sport and would hate to miss my senior spring season and am unsure if I'm ready to graduate early. Financially, I'd save a good amount but have no plans for what to during the extra year.


Some specific questions for the forum:

How would full-time IB recruiting look like if I've graduated?

Do banks offer interns to start immediately after the summer? 

Is it frowned upon to graduate early for those entering finance roles post-grad?
