It was only a few weeks ago that the Arizona women's basketball team received verbal commitments from class of 2006 twins Rheya and Rhaya Neabors, twin 6-foot-1 guards from California. And now, the Wildcats are in good shape to receive Letters-of-Intent from 6-foot-7 Illinois twins Beatrice and Suzanne Bofia, a move that -- in a basketball sense -- would help restore the team's post presence following the tragic death of Shawntinice Polk.

And following the tragic death last month of the UA's most dominant post player – Polk – head coach Joan Bonvicini is hoping to sign a second set of twins to help make up for Arizona's lack of size inside come signing day.

The Wildcats are in good shape to possibly receive Letters-of-Intent from Beatrice and Suzanne Bofia, whom are 6-foot-7 twins currently attending Illinois Central College in Peoria, Ill.

The Bofia twins visited Arizona before Polk died and even played in pickup games against Polkey, the Wildcats' 6-foot-5 All-American. From all accounts, the twins got the best of Polkey and impressed everyone in attendance with their play.

One of the twins recently dunked in a game and reportedly did so with ease.

Ironically, the Bofia twins are originally from Cameroon, Africa, the same place Arizona's current biggest player – 6-1 freshman forward Amina Njonkou – hails from.

Though Bonvicini can't comment on recruits until they sign, she did take the time to discuss possible ways Arizona could attempt to compensate for the loss of Polk in a basketball sense.

"You can't do it with one person," she said. "Polkey was truly bigger than life and dominated whether she touched the ball or not. It's going to be a team effort to make up for her loss.

"We are extremely quick and athletic but we're not nearly as tall, so we are going to try to get the game played at our tempo. A number of people have stepped up in practices, including Natalie Jones, Ashley Whisonant and Jessica Arnold with their leadership.

"We still have high expectations and we are going to play hard."

Bonvicini called the first week following Polk's death, "the most difficult of (her) life."

"You don't expect something like that to happen. Everyone misses her. Wednesday was a month (since Polk's death), and that was a hard day for me but I have a great staff around me."

Nothing will be able to replace someone as unique as Polk – as a person and player – but one gets the idea that if the Bofia twins sign with Arizona in the coming weeks, it would certainly lift Bonvicini's spirits and strengthen the program's future
