Resonances in [sup 12]C+[sup 12]C and [sup 24]Mg+[sup 24]Mg scattering have been associated with hyperdeformed configurations in the harmonic oscillator shell model and the alpha-cluster model. Resonances in [sup 28]Si+[sup 28]Si scattering do not seem to fit into this picture so well. We present alpha-cluster model calculations for superdeformed and hyperdeformed states in [sup 56]Ni. One configuration identified in our calculations corresponds to a 2:1 harmonic oscillator configuration. The others are more complex; however, none gives a totally satisfactory explanation of the [sup 28]Si+[sup 28]Si resonances.
