Haiden Deegan to Make Pro Debut in Houston | Nick Romano Out

I don't think he is ready (for regular podiums). Might get a top 5 by seasons end if he stays healthy.

Glad to see it, get some races under his belt hope he calms it down a bit.

All the rookies will definitely make the east more exciting. 

As he should. There's some integrity. Love him or hate him, it's hard not to respect this decision. Good on ya, mate!

If he stays healthy, I think he will be 4-7 and possibly sneak a podium by the end of the year. 
 

for the first round though I would guess 7-10 range which is perfectly fine.

Kind of Barcia with his Rev limiter abuse. I feel like Bennick has more potential.

Good for Haiden, I can't imagine how ramped up he is - stay healthy young man - 

Hope he stays healthy and consistent. This will be a great learning experience. 

I’m not predicting this will happen, but if by some miracle Danger Boy pulled off a win, would he be the 3rd rider ever to win their first SX race? AC and Canard are the only ones I can remember that pulled it off.

I hope he and any other new comers just make it through the season injury free. Hell, I just want to see all of the riders make it through the entire season injury free. 

Can I get a hell yeah! This is the only way he is going to get faster is racing against fast pros under the lights in Supercross. I say by Daytona this boy is in the top three

Keeerist almighty,  I hope that, danger boy, bullshit is left far behind and forgotten about quickly. 

Glad to see him finally coming out and racing the big boys.

Dungey and Ernesto Fonseca did.

Happy for him and his family.

Never was a fan of the "Danger boy" thing....

Kid has some talent.      Hope it goes well for him.

Really bummed for Romano. I was predicting a solid rookie sx season for him. 

Shouldn't they call it a Supercross debut, not a "Pro" debut?  Nationals don't count?

This is not even with any opinion towards his personality or riding, do they plan on running the name Dangerboy when he’s 28 and a veteran? Kind of short sighted on branding when that’s there whole thing 

Yeah it really seems not to be working for him....

Like any other rookie who works his ass off to get out there, I wish him nothing but success.

Nicknames change in mainstream sports. They can definitely evolve in tiny sports such as moto as well. 
 

pretty boy floyd changed to money may.. 

Don’t think this is much of a concern

Now is the time, the east coast is so soft with talent that he will have more of a chance to learn and get better without all the super fast riders banging on him all day. 

Like a 52 year-old Kid Rock ?

Dungey

How bout "danger man"

His theme song has already been written.

Haiden "It's time" Deegan

Dangerboy            Nicknames have to be used and recognized by all or most -   At home, does his dad say -"Danger Boy, take out the garbage and put a new liner in the can!"

If not, then it's not his nickname. 

I like what Philthy Phil said “ask Haiden what he wants.  If he wants to race let him race.” 

Or 31 year old Mookie ?
