Ask yourself what sort of value you can provide. From what you've posted, these things jump out at me:

If this "tight-knit group" will still be tight (or important portions of it) in your sophomore year, you have two value points: you are valuable to the group for your ability to bring new people into it, and you are valuable to outsiders because of your access to the group. Trade on that value.

If you legitimately add to guys' lives, you will never come off this way.
Demonstrate (but do not
give) value to them, wait for an IOI, give a compliance test,
then reward.
Example: Through your amazing cajones, you've struck up a friendship with a bunch of 5's (there's no such thing as an HB5) in one of your classes. Your buddies want to throw a party, and they want to have girls there.
There's a right way and a wrong way to be the middleman here.
WRONG:
PUA: Hey, I'll bring girls.
BUDS: OK.
RIGHT:
PUA: I know some girls that might come (DHV)...just how good will this party be, anyway? (Compliance test)
BUDS: It'll be awesome! We'll turn the patio into a club, and Paul has DJ equipment, etc., etc..
PUA: I'll see what I can do.
WRONG:
PUA: Hey, there's a party tonight, you're invited.
5's: OK.
RIGHT:
PUA:I'm way excited, my friends are throwing a party tonight(DHV) (note how this leaves the question of the girls' invited status up in the air; if the PUA were throwing the party, then he might be seen as rude for mentioning the party to the uninvited)
5's: Oh, wow!
PUA: Can you bring friends? (Compliance test)
5's: Yeah! (pass the test/IOI)
PUA: OK, you're invited.
OR
PUA: I'm way excited, my friends are throwing a party tonight.
5's: (uninterested response)
PUA: It's gonna be great!
5's: (uninterested response)
PUA: *doesn't say anything*
