Ok... I play volleyball in college now. I play at a small school, but that is by choice. I don't know much about basketball, but I can tell you a lot about recruiting. Junior High may be a little early, but if you are truly D1 material it's really not. The earlier the better...you need to start narrowing down what you want to go to school for. You need to choose a school that has the major that you want.
There are also online recruting agencies..you post all your contact info, stats, and all that other good stuff...then coaches can go on that webpage and they will see that. When I did that I was getting at least 3 emails or calls from coaches a day.
if you have any other questions or want more info just message me in my inbox

EDIT: Sorry, you said "i am a female junior high school b ball player" so I assumed that by the typing and phrasing, you were saying you were in junior high, not a junior in high school. Either way, if you were going to play in college, you'd know by now. Your chances aren't great if you haven't already been scouted. [/edit]
------------------
We've had a few great players on my high school basketball team, and they all play in college, but none of them play on any big teams...
They play in places such as Salem and NC AT&T... (We live in NC).
However, there is an amazing sophomore and an awesome junior who have had scouts looking at them for what seems like years - they're getting looked at by places like UNC Chapel Hill and Duke University - even though those places are mostly popular with boys basketball, they still have an amazing bball program.
It all depends on your skill, what high school you attend (is basketball popular there? Will scouts know about the school?), and how hard you work towards the goal and how badly you want it.
You're only in junior high! If you make varisty your freshman year, then start talking to your coaches. If you make varsity your sophomore year, talk to your coaches. If you don't make varisty until your junior year, don't expect much - you aren't as good as you think.
Once you start playing high school ball, talk to you coaches about where they think you are and if they think you've got a shot at playing college and even pro.
There are always people who play in high school and don't make it in college or beyond, it's all up to your skill, your ambition, your drive, and your willingness to WORK!
Good luck.
