First off, HBAN is in a depressed part of Ohio!
Secondly, they were hit pretty hard in '07 and they made their way through it. They are still making a profit, which seems to be unheard of in the banking industry. They've already written off a bunch of their bad debt, so I believe they have a much greater upside potential than most banks right now.
BTW, I think I first recommended the stock earlier than that. You may have just seen my most recent.
